Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Step 2

Line a baking sheet or a 9x13" baking dish with foil. Spray very lightly with cooking spray.

Step 3

In a microwave safe large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken and barbecue sauce. (Use as much barbecue sauce as you'd like...more or less!

Step 4

Heat the chicken and bbq sauce mixture in the microwave if it is not warm. This will help the sandwiches heat through properly.

Step 5

Use a large serrated knife to slice the rolls in half, separating the tops from the bottoms. Place the bottom of the rolls onto the prepared baking pan.

Step 6

Evenly distribute BBQ chicken mixture over the rolls.

Step 7

Top with the slices of cheese.

Step 8

Place the tops of the rolls onto the sandwiches.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix together the butter, beef broth, thyme, and Parmesan cheese. Brush butter mixture over the rolls.

Step 10

Cover the rolls loosely with foil.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven until the rolls are lightly browned and the cheese has melted, about 20 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 3-5 minutes.

Step 12

Slice into individual rolls to serve. Serve warm.
