Chicken

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the BBQ sauce over the chicken.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the chicken using two forks and mix it well with the remaining BBQ sauce.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

  2. 5

    Mix the Coleslaw

    In a separate bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and mayonnaise. Stir until the coleslaw is evenly coated.

  3. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a generous portion of the BBQ shredded chicken. Top with coleslaw, sliced tomatoes, pickles, and sliced red onion. Place the top half of the bun over the fillings.
