4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper

1 c barbecue sauce

1 canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced

1/4 c water

Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until chicken is cook through and sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and slice crosswise into 1/4 inch pieces.

3. Arrange rolls cut-side up on baking sheet. Divide chicken among bottom halves of rolls and top with sauce, cheese, and bacon. Bake open faced sandwiches in oven until cheese melts and rolls are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Top each sandwich with toasted roll top and serve.
