Pulled Chicken and Sandwich Assembly

1 1/2 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup BBQ sauce

4 units deli rolls or sandwich buns

2 cups coleslaw mix

1 cup Mayonnaise

2 tbs Apple cider vinegar

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 cup Red onion, thinly sliced

Method

Preparation and Assembly

Cook the Chicken

In a slow cooker, add the chicken breasts and pour the BBQ sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.

Prepare the Coleslaw

In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well combined and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Shred the Chicken

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the BBQ sauce.

Assemble the Sandwiches

Toast the deli rolls if desired. On the bottom half of each roll, add a generous portion of the BBQ pulled chicken, a scoop of coleslaw, and a few slices of red onion. Top with the other half of the roll.
