Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the chicken in the skillet for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Shred the chicken using two forks or a hand mixer.
In the same skillet, add the BBQ sauce and shredded chicken. Stir to combine, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Toast the slider buns lightly in the skillet or oven.
Assemble the sliders by placing a generous amount of pulled chicken on each bun. Top with coleslaw if desired.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to use store-bought BBQ sauce or homemade sauce.
Coleslaw adds a nice crunch and freshness, but it’s optional.
For spicier sliders, add some hot sauce or jalapeños to the pulled chicken.
If you prefer slow cooking, you can make this in a slow cooker by cooking the chicken on low for 4-6 hours with BBQ sauce and then shredding it.
