  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 4 hamburger buns
– 1 cup coleslaw mix
– ¼ cup mayonnaise
– 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Creating a Barbecue Chicken Sandwich is an enjoyable experience. Follow these step-by-step instructions for a flavorful outcome:

1. Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Grill the Chicken: Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
4. Baste with Barbecue Sauce: In the last few minutes of grilling, brush the chicken with barbecue sauce, ensuring it’s nicely coated.
5. Make the Slaw: In a bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss until well mixed.
6. Toast the Buns: Optional—while the chicken is finishing, toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
7. Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken breasts into thinner pieces if desired.
8. Layer the Ingredients: On the bottom half of each bun, place a portion of chicken, followed by the coleslaw mix. Add any additional toppings if using.
9. Finish the Sandwich: Place the top half of the bun over the coleslaw to complete the sandwich.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Barbecue Chicken Sandwich while it’s still warm.
