Method
 

Prepare Chicken
  1. Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts into your slow cooker. Pour in the BBQ sauce, followed by apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and kosher salt. Mix gently to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and set to cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours.
  2. Once the chicken is tender, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with forks.
Make Slaw
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine thinly sliced cabbage, diced apple, chopped cilantro, and honey or maple syrup. Drizzle with apple cider vinegar and sprinkle with salt. Mix thoroughly and let sit.
Assemble Sandwiches
  1. Toast the burger buns until golden brown. Layer shredded chicken onto each bun, drizzle with more BBQ sauce if desired, and top with apple cabbage slaw.
