For the White BBQ Sauce:
-
1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tbsp white vinegar
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tbsp prepared horseradish
-
1 tsp Dijon mustard
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1/4 tsp black pepper
-
Optional: 1/2 tsp sugar for balance
For the Subs:
-
2 cups cooked shredded or sliced chicken (rotisserie works great)
-
4 sub rolls or hoagie buns, split
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
-
Butter or olive oil, for toasting
-
Optional: shredded lettuce, pickles, red onion, or tomato slices for topping
Instructions
-
In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the white BBQ sauce until smooth. Chill while assembling sandwiches.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the chicken with about ½ cup of the white BBQ sauce until well coated (add more to taste).
-
Open each sub roll and place on the baking sheet. Lightly brush with butter or oil and toast for 3–5 minutes.

Fill each roll with sauced chicken and sprinkle cheese on top. Return to oven for 5–7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Top with optional toppings like lettuce or pickles, drizzle with more white BBQ sauce if desired, and serve hot.
Notes

Sauce can be made ahead and stored for up to 1 week.

Use grilled or sautéed chicken for added texture.
