Trim any visible fat from the pork tenderloin and place it in the slow cooker.
Add the chicken broth and 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the coleslaw. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and shredded carrot.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the coleslaw dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use to allow the flavors to meld.
Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Discard any remaining liquid in the slow cooker.
Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir in the remaining barbecue sauce. Let the pork heat through on the warm setting for about 10-15 minutes.
To assemble the sandwiches, divide the shredded barbecue pork evenly among the bottom halves of the sandwich buns. Top with a generous scoop of coleslaw and cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious, healthier BBQ pork sandwich with tangy coleslaw!
