This smoky yet creamy chicken salad is a twist on more traditional chicken salad recipes thanks to ample amounts of barbecue sauce. We add a dash of apple cider vinegar to store bought barbecue sauce to perk it up and slather it on boneless skinless chicken breasts that are roasted until perfectly juicy and tender. Serve your BBQ chicken salad on potato rolls, in lettuce cups, or over mixed greens for an easy lunch or dinner.

2) After the chicken has finished cooking, transfer to a large bowl, saving remaining barbecue sauce in the Suvie pan. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred into pieces.
