Ingredients

Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and barbecue sauce. Mix until the chicken is well-coated and the flavors are evenly distributed.
2. Butter the Bread: Spread the butter on one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle the garlic powder and black pepper on the buttered side for an extra burst of flavor.
