I was able to keep the calories low thanks to my low calorie bBQ sauce and low calorie burger buns. But as you will see below, you can use store-bought instead.
Special Tip: If you choose to use store-bought buns, hollow out the center a bit, this will cut the calories. For store-bought BBQ sauce, look for “organic” it should be lower in calories and won’t have all the chemicals and preservatives.
To a medium bowl combine the Cole slaw ingredients and mix well. Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.
To a skillet over medium heat, spray with olive oil and add the chicken breast. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook for 5 minutes on each side until cooked through with no pink in the center.
Move the chicken to a plate and shred with 2 forks.
Add the chicken back to the skillet along with the BBQ sauce, and heat on low for 5 minutes until the sauce is hot.
To assemble the sandwiches, slice the buns in half, and add 1/2 of the chicken to the bottom half. Top each with 1/2 of the Cole slaw, and finally the top half of the bun.
