Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 4 cups Shredded coleslaw mix
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp White vinegar
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 tsp Salt (for slaw)
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper (for slaw)
- 12 pieces Slider buns
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Add chicken broth, BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 hours (or on high heat for 2.5 hours) until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the coleslaw. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, white vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Add the shredded coleslaw mix to the bowl and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Once the chicken is done, shred it using two forks and mix it back into the sauce in the slow cooker to keep it moist and flavorful.
To assemble the sliders, place a portion of pulled chicken on the bottom half of each slider bun, top with a generous spoonful of coleslaw, and then add the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
