By 42 Comments

Friends popping over for dinner (after you’ve been at work all day – ack!)? Running around with the kids after school and past dinnertime? People need to eat, am I right? These are the times to break out Smoky Chicken Sandwiches with Chipotle Orange Pineapple Sauce. They’ll help you – and delight you – when you need it most!

Try these fabulous, easy-to-make sandwiches for lunch or dinner! You'll enjoy Smoky Chicken Sandwiches with Chipotle Orange Pineapple Sauce

Quick and easy meals (and let’s not forget delicious) are where it’s at sometimes. These sandwiches are a cinch to make, and the sauce is something you’ll want to toss together for the rest of grilling season.

Officially and unofficially, May is designated as National BBQ Month. We’ve been grilling for a while here in Phoenix, and I’m sure most of you have either already cracked open your grills, or are on the verge of it. If you haven’t yet, but still have a taste for barbecue, these sandwiches are a great solution! 

Lunch or dinner gets tasty with these Smoky Chicken Sandwiches with Chipotle Orange Pineapple Sauce!

I’ve partnered with Farm Rich who makes a tasty line of BBQ products called Smokehouse, to come up with a delicious and convenient recipe like Smoky Chicken Sandwiches with Chipotle Orange Pineapple Sauce.

The Smokehouse BBQ line features a full lineup of easy-to-make BBQ meat products, including chicken, pork, and beef that are hickory smoked for hours, and ready in minutes. If you’re still dealing with snow or rainy weather in your area (or just don’t have the time), this is a great way to get a taste of grilling season.

The sauce for these sandwiches is one of my favorite things, and the Dry Rub Smoked Chicken (the Dry Rub Smoked Pork would work well for this recipe, too) was just screaming for a sauce like this.

Not only is the sauce a little smoky and spicy from the chipotle peppers, but it’s sweet and citrusy with pineapple added in for good measure (and flavor). I mixed it in with the chicken to coat all the pieces, but you could also use it as a topping.

Dig in! These Smoky Chicken Sandwiches with Chipotle Orange Pineapple Sauce are amazing!

If you’re short on time when it comes to lunch or dinner, or you’re still yearning for good weather, you can still enjoy a great BBQ-inspired meal. Smoky Chicken Sandwiches with Chipotle Orange Pineapple Sauce help make meal prep easy.

    I'll have to share this recipe with my sister in law! She's got two kids and I think that chicken would be a perfect healthy shortcut for them! Personally, I want to eat that pineapple sauce with a SPOON! haha

    Oh I can soo relate to needing dinner to just be quick and easy sometimes. Whenever I work right until dinnertime and everyone including me is borderline hangry, there just is no time for gourmet from scratch recipes.

    That store-bought smoked chicken really makes this recipe a snap! And wow, that sauce looks like it's just packed with flavor. Enjoy your weekend!

    I haven't seen this chicken - I'll have to keep a watch for it at the grocery store. This is the perfect satisfying meal when you don't have a lot of time for prep!
