Trim any excess fat from the pork loin and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork loin.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Pour chicken broth into the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cover with a lid and simmer for 25-30 minutes, flipping the pork halfway through until it reaches an internal temperature of 145Β°F (63Β°C).
Remove the pork loin from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. Use two forks to shred the meat into small pieces.
Return the shredded pork to the skillet and stir in the BBQ sauce. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is fully coated and warmed through.
Toast the sandwich buns lightly, if desired.
Assemble the sandwiches by piling the BBQ pulled pork onto the buns. Top with coleslaw if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Quick BBQ Pulled Pork Loin Sandwiches!
