Instructions
Creating the Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Sandwich with Cabbage Slaw is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: In a bowl, mix barbecue sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Coat Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and pour the barbecue mixture over the top. Ensure the chicken is fully covered.
3. Cook Chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
4. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken straight in the slow cooker, mixing it well with the sauce.
5. Prepare Cabbage Slaw: In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Assemble Sandwiches: Toast the hamburger buns if desired. Pile a generous portion of pulled chicken on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a scoop of cabbage slaw. Top with the other half of the bun.
