Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup gluten-free BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 buns gluten-free hamburger buns
- 2 cups coleslaw mix
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Brush this mixture over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked.
Step 4
While the chicken is grilling, in a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar. Mix until the coleslaw is evenly coated. Set aside.
Step 5
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes on a cutting board.
Step 6
Shred the chicken using two forks and transfer to a bowl. Add the gluten-free BBQ sauce and mix until the chicken is well coated with the sauce.
Step 7
If desired, briefly toast the gluten-free hamburger buns on the grill for a minute until lightly browned.
Step 8
Assemble the sandwiches by placing an even portion of the BBQ chicken onto the bottom half of each bun.
Step 9
Top the BBQ chicken with coleslaw, then finish with the top half of the bun.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious gluten-free BBQ chicken sandwiches!
