Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Brush the chicken with BBQ sauce during the last 2 minutes of grilling.

  3. 3

    Rest the Chicken

    Remove the grilled chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Coleslaw Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix Coleslaw Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 5

    Chill the Coleslaw

    Cover the coleslaw and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the brioche buns in half. Place a grilled chicken breast on the bottom half of the bun, add a generous scoop of coleslaw on top, and add pickles if desired. Cover with the top half of the bun.
