Smoky Chipotle Chicken Sandwiches with Slaw Recipe

Smoky Chipotle Chicken Sandwich made with Litehouse Coleslaw Dressing

One of my favorite places to travel in the US is Memphis because I’m a huge fan of everything BBQ! I love a good pulled chicken or pork sandwich with cooling coleslaw and a side of potato chips. There really is nothing better. I’ve made a lot of different sauces over the years but I think that the sauce on these Smoky Chipotle Chicken Sandwiches is my best recipe yet!

This recipe is great to make ahead of time and then heat up at dinner because it’s saucy enough where the chicken won’t dry out from reheating. The coleslaw is quick and easy to put together and only includes three ingredients: red cabbage, shredded carrots and Litehouse Coleslaw dressing. I like to shred my own carrots and cabbage but to make life simple you can also just buy a bag of pre-shredded coleslaw blend.

Speaking of making life simple, this is a great rotisserie chicken dinner. Rotisserie chicken is one of my favorite secret ingredients to use in the kitchen because it adds a bonus touch of flavor and juicy chicken that you can shred without the hassle. I love to top these sandwiches off with red onion and pickles, but it’s all a personal preference.
