Sandwich Assembly

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C). Brush with BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of grilling.

Making the Coleslaw

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, mix together the shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 4

    Chill

    Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the grilled chicken and place it on the bottom half of each burger bun. Top with a generous portion of coleslaw and sliced pickles. Place the top half of the buns on each sandwich.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the BBQ chicken sandwiches immediately with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
