Bread

Method

Preparing Pulled Chicken

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a slow cooker, add the chicken thighs, salt, and black pepper. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix in the sweet heat sauce. Let it cook on low for an additional 30 minutes.

Cooking Toppings

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cool, chop into small pieces.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Tomato

    Dice the medium tomato into small pieces and set aside.

Assembling the Stack

  1. 5

    Toast the Sourdough

    Preheat a grill or a grill pan. Lightly butter each slice of sourdough bread on one side. Grill the bread until golden brown and toasted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  2. 6

    Build the Stack

    On the unbuttered side of a slice of grilled sourdough, layer the pulled chicken, crispy bacon, melted cheddar cheese, diced tomato, and coleslaw. Drizzle with chipotle aioli.

  3. 7

    Top and Serve

    Place another slice of grilled sourdough on top to complete the sandwich. Repeat for the remaining slices. Cut in half and serve immediately.
