Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Two Forks

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 slider buns
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add the chicken breasts to the slow cooker along with the barbecue sauce, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Stir everything so the chicken is coated.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours until the chicken is very tender and easy to pull apart.
  • Use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, then stir it back into the sauce.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  • Spoon the shredded chicken onto the slider buns and top each one with a portion of the slaw before serving.

Notes

Make the slaw right before serving so the cabbage stays crisp rather than soggy. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, cook the chopped onion briefly in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for two days if you store the chicken and slaw in separate containers.
