Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture onto both sides of the chicken breasts.

  2. 2

    Grill Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). During the last couple of minutes of grilling, brush the BBQ sauce on both sides of the chicken.

  3. 3

    Rest Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Coleslaw Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Vegetables

    Finely slice the green cabbage and shred the carrots. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 5

    Make Coleslaw Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. 6

    Combine

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots, and toss until everything is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 7

    Assemble Sandwich

    Slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly if desired. Place a grilled chicken breast on the bottom half of each bun, top with a generous portion of coleslaw, and add pickles. Place the top half of the bun over the coleslaw.

  2. 8

    Serve

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