Barbecue Pulled Chicken Sandwiches with Sweet Coleslaw
This Barbecue Pulled Chicken Sandwiches with Sweet Coleslaw is made in the slow cooker! A sweet, delicious homemade barbecue sauce and an easy coleslaw make this one epic sandwich!
Add catchup and Worcestershire sauce; bring to boil.
I would usually puree the sauce until the onions are fully incorporated but I think the slow cooked onions are the perfect complement to the pulled chicken.
Make the chicken:
Pour all the barbecue sauce above over 2-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts placed in a slow cooker. If you like a lot of sauce, I would double the recipe above for 4 breasts. Cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours. I have made it both ways and it is definitely better cooked on low. High will certainly do in a pinch!
Remove chicken to a cutting board and shred with two forks. Hold the chicken breast with one fork and scrape at one end of the breast with the other fork until all the chicken has been shredded.
Place in a servicing dish and cover with some of the reserved sauce. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Make the Coleslaw:
Whisk together salad dressing, vegetable oil, sugar, vinegar, salt and poppy seeds in a medium bowl. Pour over coleslaw & broccoli slaw mixes and toss to coat. Chill at least 2 hours prior to serving. Unfortunately this step is necessary. I tried to serve it after only 30 minutes in the refrigerator and it was a bad plan.
With a little prep-work early in the day, your whole dinner can be ready in a matter of minutes! Love it!
