Ingredients

  • Boneless skinless chicken breasts1 1/2 lb
  • Dairy-free barbecue sauce3/4 cup
  • Hamburger buns4
  • Shredded coleslaw mix12 oz
  • Apple cider vinegar1 1/2 tbsp
  • Honey2 tsp
  • Olive oil1 tbsp
  • Dill pickle chips1/2 cup

How dinner comes together

  1. Slice each chicken breast horizontally into two thin cutlets so they cook quickly and evenly; season lightly with black pepper.

  2. Place the chicken, barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup water in the skillet. Cover and simmer over medium heat until the chicken reaches 165°F, 10–12 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, toss the coleslaw mix with the vinegar, honey, olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt until lightly coated.

  4. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and shred it with two forks. Boil the sauce uncovered for 2 minutes, then return the chicken and toss until glossy.

  5. Toast the cut sides of the buns if desired, then fill each bun with pulled chicken, tangy slaw and pickle chips.
