Ingredients

Serves 2

1 Outside The Breadbox Vegan Oat Hamburger Bun (or Brown Rice Dinner Roll)
2 Tbsp FODY BBQ Sauce
1 shredded chicken breast or chicken tenders
Arugula or lettuce of choice
Sea salt
Black pepper
Cilantro
1 tsp Follow Your Heart soy-free mayo

Coleslaw

Cabbage mix
Shredded carrots
Purple cabbage
1 Tbsp Follow Your Heart soy-free mayo
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
Sea salt
Black pepper

Directions

First, make the coleslaw. Mix together cabbage mix, purple cabbage, shredded carrots, mayo, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, sea salt, and pepper, cover, and place in the fridge to cook.
Boil, Instant Pot, or bake chicken until fully cooked, then shred finely. I use a whisk to shred my chicken. I also prefer to use chicken tenders, as they are much more flavorful.
Add 2 Tbsp. of BBQ sauce to the shredded chicken, mix, and set aside.
Toast bun or roll in the oven until light brown.
Spread 1 tsp. mayo on both sides of the bread. Spread on just one side for fewer calories.
Place the shredded chicken on the bread and top with homemade coleslaw and arugula.
Drizzle on 1 tsp. of BBQ sauce and top with cilantro. Enjoy!
