Pulled Chicken

Assembly

Method

Pulled Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear.

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Using two forks, shred the chicken into pieces and return to the skillet.

  3. 3

    Add BBQ Sauce

    Pour the BBQ sauce over the shredded chicken in the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for another 5 minutes.

Coleslaw

  1. 4

    Prepare the Coleslaw

    In a large bowl, combine the finely shredded cabbage and grated carrot.

  2. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  3. 6

    Combine Coleslaw

    Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss to combine and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Toast the Buns

    Lightly toast the brioche buns in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Build the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each bun, add a generous portion of the pulled BBQ chicken. Top with coleslaw and pickles (if using). Place the top half of the bun on to complete the sandwich.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your BBQ chicken sandwich!
