- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 cup Keto-friendly barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Red cabbage

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Step 4
While the chicken is baking, prepare the slaw. Thinly slice the red and green cabbage and place them in a mixing bowl.
Step 5
Add mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar to the cabbage. Mix thoroughly until cabbage is well coated, then finely chop the green onions and mix into the slaw.
Step 6
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly, then shred using two forks.
Step 7
Mix shredded chicken with keto-friendly barbecue sauce until evenly coated.
Step 8
Toast grain-free sandwich buns in the oven or on a skillet for a few minutes until slightly crispy.
Step 9
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a generous portion of pulled chicken on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a scoop of cabbage slaw. Place the top bun over the slaw.
