BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Dill Pickle Slaw (Slow Cooker)
This BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Dill Pickle Slaw is the perfect weeknight or weekend meal. The chicken is slow cooked in a tangy and slightly sweet homemade gold barbecue sauce, shredded, then topped with our creamy and briny dill pickle slaw. We like these sandwiches best when served on a toasted bun and covered with something crunchy like fried onions, crispy fried jalapeños, or even crushed up potato chips!

Pour the BBQ sauce into a slow cooker. Add the chicken breasts and toss them in the sauce to coat.
- Step 3
Cook the chicken on HIGH for 4 hours (or LOW or 8 hours), then remove from the slow cooker and shred it with a couple of forks.
- Step 4
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and cook for another 1 to 1.5 hours on HIGH.
- Step 5
Whisk the dill pickle slaw dressing ingredients together.
- Step 6
Add the cabbage, red onion, and sliced pickles to a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss until fully combined.
- Step 7
Pile a generous amount of chicken onto a toasted bun. (If you have extra barbecue sauce, spoon some on top of the chicken.)
- Step 8
Add some of the dill pickle slaw onto the chicken, top with some fried onions (or jalapeños or chips, if using), then cover with the top half of the bun.
