Ingredients

  • Cole slaw

    • 2 cups green cabbage, shredded

    • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded

    • 1 cup carrots, shredded

    • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

    • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

    • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

    • 1 tablespoon honey

    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

    • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • Chicken sandwich

    • 1 pound chicken, cooked, shredded

    • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

    • 1/4 cup pineapple juice

    • 4 1/2-inch slices pineapple

    • 4 hamburger buns

Directions

  • To make the coleslaw, whisk together the vinegar, honey, mayonnaise, and Greek yogurt in a large bowl. Add the carrots, salt, pepper, and shredded cabbage. Toss, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  • To make the chicken sandwich, combine the barbeque sauce and pineapple juice and bring to a simmer. Add the shredded chicken, cover the pan, and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes.

  • While the chicken mixture is cooking, heat a grill pan on high heat. Add the pineapple slices and cook until the slices are soft on one side and grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Repeat for other side. Remove the slices from the pan and set aside.

  • Split the burger buns and lightly toast each side. Place a heap of chicken in the bun and top with pineapple and coleslaw.
