Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/3 cup honey
2 tbsp cayenne-based hot sauce
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 hamburger buns (brioche or potato rolls)
1/2 cup dill pickle slices
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts into the base of the slow cooker.
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken to ensure moisture.
Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6 hours with the lid securely closed.
Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred it using two forks.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and hot sauce until well combined.
Toss the shredded chicken with the hot honey glaze until evenly coated.
Lightly toast the hamburger buns.
Assemble the sandwiches by spooning the chicken onto the buns and topping with dill pickle slices.
Notes
Ensure you don’t over-shred the meat to maintain a succulent texture. Using low-sodium broth allows you to control the saltiness of the final glaze. If you prefer extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey mixture.
