Prepare the Shredded Chicken Sandwiches
Place the chicken, one cup of the BBQ sauce, and the water into a pot. Bring it to a boil then cover and lower to a simmer. Allow to cook about 20 to 25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked through and easily breaks apart with two forks.
Remove the chicken from the pot and shred with two forks. Alternatively, shred right in the pot. Place the chicken back into the pot and add in the remaining BBQ sauce. Cook another five minutes uncovered.
Prepare the coleslaw. In a bowl, mix together the dressing ingredients then add in the coleslaw mix. Toss till fully combined.
Serve pulled chicken on a bun topped with coleslaw.

How long would you bake this for in the oven?
Probably around an 45 min to 1 hour- just make sure there is plenty of liquid so it doesn't dry out!
This shredded chicken recipe was super fast to make and my whole family enjoyed!! When adding the BBQ sauce after pulling the chicken, we also added water as it needed more liquid. We served it over jasmine rice, with the delicious sauce. Thank you!!
Can this be frozen?
Still curious, but no longer relevant, as my son asked if we could have this every night for dinner :-) was a big hit and so quick and easy..
Sure! You can definitely freeze the shredded chicken.
This was a hit supper! Chicken was super easy to make! I served it in tacos with Caesar salad on top! Definitely a winner winner chicken dinner :)
