Step 1

First, prepare your crockpot bbq chicken. Mix together chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Then, season both sides of your chicken breasts.

Step 2

Spray the bottom of your crockpot with nonstick cooking spray and then add your chicken breasts.

Step 3

Pour about 1/3 cup of bbq sauce on top of your chicken breasts (save the rest for later) and then add 3 tablespoons of water. Cover slow cooker.

Step 4

Let cook for around 2-3 hours on high for 4-6 hours on low.

Step 5

Once the chicken has fully cooked and reached an internal temperature of 165ºF, use 2 forks to shred.

Step 6

Keep the liquid from the chicken and bbq sauce in the crockpot and add about 1/3 cup more bbq sauce and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Mix sauce and shredded chicken until everything is coated.

Step 7

Next, prepare slaw by mixing together all slaw ingredients.

Step 8

Put together your bbq chicken sandwiches by placing a generous amount of slaw on the bottom of your bun and then about 1/4 lb. of the shredded chicken. Add about 1 tablespoon more of bbq sauce (or more, if desired), and a few pickles. Put the top on your chicken sandwich and enjoy!
