Oven Baked Skinny Shredded Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches

Oven Baked Skinny Shredded Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches

Ingredients
  

Ingredients for Chicken:

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 (18 oz) bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey Barbecue sauce or your favorite

Ingredients for Coleslaw:

  • 6 cups shredded white cabbage, 1 (10 oz) bag
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • ¾ cup scallions, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons light mayonnaise,  I like Best Foods (Hellman’s) Light
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2½ tablespoons spicy brown mustard or yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ teaspoon prepared white horseradish
  • 2 packages Oroweat’s Honey Wheat Sandwich Thins, see shopping tips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place chicken breasts in a roasting pan or rectangular Pyrex baking dish. Arrange sliced onions over the chicken, then pour the barbecue sauce over top, reserving 1 cup for later. Cover the baking dish/pan tightly with foil and place in the oven. Cook chicken for 1 hour, remove foil and cook for about 10 minutes longer until chicken is fork-tender.
  • In the meantime, prepare the coleslaw-In a large bowl add the cabbage, carrots, and scallions. In a small bowl mix together the dressing ingredients. Refrigerate the coleslaw and dressing separately until ready to serve. Don’t toss until serving to keep coleslaw crisp and crunchy, not soggy.
  • Remove the chicken to a plate or cutting board. Using two forks, pull the chicken breasts apart to shred the meat. Place the shredded chicken back in the pan, add the reserved 1 cup barbecue sauce and toss the chicken well to thoroughly coat in the sauce that’s remaining in the pan.
  • Serve the pulled chicken warm. Place on the bottom of each sandwich thin ½ cup barbecue shredded chicken. Add onion, ¾ cup slaw, and top with sandwich thin.
  • If you have any leftovers, the shredded chicken freezes great. You can use leftover chicken to stuff a baked potato or add to a salad. Plus, this recipe can easily be cut in half!
