Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup gluten-free BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 buns gluten-free hamburger buns
- 2 cups coleslaw mix
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Brush this mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked.
While the chicken is grilling, in a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Mix until the coleslaw is evenly coated. Set aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes on a cutting board.
Shred the chicken using two forks and transfer to a bowl. Add the gluten-free BBQ sauce and mix until the chicken is well coated with the sauce.
If desired, briefly toast the gluten-free hamburger buns on the grill for a minute until lightly browned.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing an even portion of the BBQ chicken onto the bottom half of each bun.
Top the BBQ chicken with coleslaw, then finish with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious gluten-free BBQ chicken sandwiches!
