  • Sandwiches:
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable or olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • About 1/4 cup chicken stock, more if needed
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce or puree

Directions

  1. For the slaw, in a large bowl, whisk the mayo, yogurt, vinegar, sugar, mustard, celery seed, and granulated garlic; season with salt and pepper. Mix in the coleslaw mix and onion.

  2. For the chicken, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium. Add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add about 1/4 cup stock, the tomato sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, hot sauce, mustard, and Worcestershire. Let the sauce simmer at a low bubble, stirring occasionally. While the sauce simmers, pull the meat from the chicken. Mix the chicken into the sauce. Stir until heated through, about 2 minutes.

  3. Serve the chicken on the rolls. Top with some pickles and the slaw.
