Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

Sandwich Assembly

Preparation

Marinating the Chicken

1. Prepare Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine BBQ sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

2. Marinate Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Cooking the Chicken

3. Preheat Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

4. Grill Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any remaining marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Sandwich

5. Prepare the Buns

While the chicken is resting, slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster.

6. Mix Coleslaw

In a bowl, mix the coleslaw with mayonnaise until well combined. Adjust seasoning as needed.

7. Assemble Sandwiches

On the bottom half of each bun, layer the sliced grilled chicken, followed by a generous scoop of coleslaw, sliced tomatoes, and pickles. Optionally, add fresh cilantro on top. Place the top half of the bun on each sandwich.
