Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches with Coleslaw
I had leftover roasted chicken meat to use up as well as leftover homemade barbecue sauce so I decided to shred the chicken, toss it with the sauce, and put it on some hamburger buns. At the last minute, I decided to whip up some tasty coleslaw to put on the sandwich too. These barbecue chicken sandwiches with coleslaw were AMAZING! Even my picky kids said they liked them and my husband and I loved them. I had a leftover sandwich today and it was just as tasty. This was a quick and delicious dinner and a perfect way to use up my leftovers.

These remind me of the pulled pork sandwiches my hubby makes. He would love this sandwich.
This is an amazing idea! Something I haven’t seen in any fast food restaurants 🙂
love the colorful cole slaw. sounds tasty!
Looks delicious Pam. I have lots of leftover Roasted Chicken from last night. I can see these Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches on the menu this week for sure!!! Now, if I could just figure out how to “whip up” some tasty coleslaw. Will check…
Thanks for sharing…
Mmmmmm…. bbq chicken sandwich…. topped with coleslaw!!! YUM!
I was hoping you were going to post whatever you served with that delicious cole slaw! This BBQ sandwich is perfect, and so easing using store bought rotisserie chicken. Great idea, Pam!
I love pulled bbq chicken sandwiches and yours look perfect, Pam. That slaw is such an awesome addition!
The only thing better than bbq is bbq sandwiches.
That looks ridiculously awesome. I’m not a fan of hamburger buns, so I’d prob swap that for something else, but I LOVE coleslaw. It’s pretty much good on everything (including hot dogs!)
Love the cole slaw on there! Great photos too!
A quick healthy sandwich with homemade slaw is a definite win in my book! Well done, Pam!
hey girl!
so sorry I’ve been so absent 🙁
I see I’ve missed like A LOT.
I eat a lot of my sandwiches with cole slaw.
One of my crazy cravings is to have roast beef with cole slaw and a touch of chutney. It’s really good.
What a good, easy meal. But I’ll take my coleslaw on the side; I am very resistant to mixing my food.
Yum, looks delicious. This is such a great way to use up leftovers.
Great idea for the leftover chicken. It looks fantastic! Will be on my menu by this weekend.
Burgers can be HEALTHY too! Must make this colourful and crunchy coleslaw!
Sounds like one delicious dinner! I need more bbq sauce in my life.
BBQ is big in my part of North Carolina and in the Carolinas they always ask, “do you want slaw on it?” when you order a BBQ sandwich. Surprised me the first time I was asked, but there’s just something so special about the flavor of BBQ and slaw together between a bun that makes your taste buds happy.
