Pulled Rotisserie Chicken Sanwiches

You know those rotisserie chickens that you can buy precooked and hot from the grocery store? Well if you've ever wondered what to do with them, besides just eating the chicken with simple sides, this is the recipe for you. I loved how easy it was. It came together really quickly. The chicken is already cooked for you. The flavor was delicious and unique, which I think is a good thing. My children and my husband loved it.
Pulled Rotisserie Chicken Sandwiches


Ingredients
1 purchased, cooked, rotisserie chicken
1 medium onion, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil, or butter
1/4 cup white vinegar
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon organic brown sugar
3 teaspoons diced green chiles
6 whole wheat rolls, or 12 slices of bread, or spelt bread
pickles
cheese
tomatoes

Directions
Cut the meat from the chicken, discarding the skin and bones. Use two forks or your fingers to pull meat into shreds to equal 4 cups.
In a large skillet cook onion in butter or oil over medium heat until tender. Add vinegar, cook and stir for 1 minute. Stir in tomatos sauce, green chiles, thyme, molasses, salt, and organic brown sugar. Bring to a boil. Add the chicken, stirring gently to coat. Heat through. Serve on split rolls or bread with cheese, pickels, tomatoes, or any topings you like and enjoy!!
