This recipe was really easy and I particularly loved how the onions (mine were chopped, simply because I was making potato salad at the same time and chopped them all by accident.) melded with the BBQ sauce to make a nice topping for the chicken. I used Jack Daniel's BBQ, as that's what I had open, but SBR's is usually on hand. The chili powder was a great addition and I'll probably use even more next time. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the cheese. I just don't think it added anything to the dish, as it was completely overshadowed by the flavor of the sauce. Only half my family can eat cheese anyway, so I'll just skip it next time. :) Thanks for sharing, SaddleUp! Made & enjoyed for Pick-A-Chef Spring 2011.

I made this dish for my family-minus the cheddar cheese. It didn't lok quite right so I shredded the chicken in the cassarole dish and then added more bbq sauce returned to the oven a few minutes then put mixture on toasted onion rolls. Everyone loved it and I will make it again. Thanks Saddleup87.
