Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Roast the sweet potato fries

Heat the oven to 450°F.

  • Scrub or peel the sweet potato. Cut the potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half lengthwise into ½-inch-thick slices.

On a sheet pan, drizzle the sweet potato with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread in an even layer and roast, turning once halfway through, until the potato is tender and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the cabbage and chicken. 

2

Make the quick-pickled cabbage

  • Cut away any core from the cabbage; thinly slice the cabbage.

In a medium sauce pot, bring the quick-pickle brine and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] water to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the cabbage, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.

3

Cook the chicken

In another medium sauce pot, add the chicken and enough lightly salted water to cover by 2 inches, making sure the pieces are separated, and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until opaque and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the chicken to a plate to cool, then using a fork, shred the chicken. Wipe out the pot. 

Return the chicken to the pot and stir in the pineapple BBQ blend and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium heat until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Serve

Place the bun bottoms, cut sides up, on individual plates and top each with the BBQ chicken. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pickled cabbage from the brine and top the chicken with as much cabbage as you like. Close with the bun tops. Serve the sweet potato fries, lemon aioli, and any remaining cabbage on the side.
