Pulled Chicken Sandwich
This pulled chicken sandwich delivers a smoky, savory punch with a hint of heat from chili flakes and sriracha. Tender chicken, enriched by a tomato‑based sauce and a touch of sweetness, sits atop fresh buns and is finished with creamy sour cream, sharp cheddar, and fresh jalapeños. It’s a quick, crowd‑pleasing dinner that feels indulgent yet is surprisingly easy to prepare.
