First, prepare your crockpot bbq chicken. Mix together chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Then, season both sides of your chicken breasts.
Spray the bottom of your crockpot with nonstick cooking spray and then add your chicken breasts.
Pour about ⅓ cup of bbq sauce on top of your chicken breasts (save the rest for later) and then add 3 tablespoons of water. Cover slow cooker.
Let cook for around 2-3 hours on high for 4-6 hours on low.
Once the chicken has fully cooked and reached an internal temperature of 165ºF, use 2 forks to shred.
Keep the liquid from the chicken and bbq sauce in the crockpot and add about ⅓ cup more bbq sauce and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Mix sauce and shredded chicken until everything is coated.
Next, prepare slaw by mixing together all slaw ingredients.
Put together your bbq chicken sandwiches by placing a generous amount of slaw on the bottom of your bun and then about ¼ lb. of the shredded chicken. Add about 1 tablespoon more of bbq sauce (or more, if desired), and a few pickles. Put the top on your chicken sandwich and enjoy!
