These BBQ sandwiches are a breeze since the filling is already made from yesterday's dinner. Serve it up with a side of sweet potato fries and our favorite apple spinach salad, and you have yourself a simple, healthy dinner.
Place sweet potatoes in a sheet pan and then cover tightly with foil. Bake for 6 minutes on top rack.
Double the vinaigrette ingredients if you are making tomorrow night's dinner too. Whisk together maple syrup (use less if you want your dressing less sweet), vinegar, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Return to sweet potato fries. Take them out and toss with olive oil and a generous sprinkle of salt. Roast for another 12 to 15 minutes uncovered, giving them a shake midway through.
While sweet potatoes are finishing, warm leftover chicken in a microwave (look for the reheat setting) or in a saucepan on medium.
Spoon shredded chicken onto buns. Top with more leftover BBQ sauce and serve with cheese. If you want to turn into melts, place into an oven at 350F (177C) degrees for 4 to 6 minutes or under a broiler on low for about 4 to 6 minutes. If you have leftover slaw from last night, they would go great with these sandwiches.
Toss vinaigrette (remember to use only half if you doubled the recipe) with apples, spinach, and walnuts and enjoy with sandwiches and sweet potato fries! You can dip the fries into BBQ sauce or ketchup (or mix them together).
