Ingredients for these Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

Chicken Sandwiches:

Rotisserie Chicken: Use 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken. I remove the skin and then shred using a stand mixer.
Buffalo Sauce: Use your favorite buffalo sauce.
Olive Oil: Drizzle olive on the ciabatta rolls before placing in broiler.

Coleslaw:

Slaw Mix: Use 6 cups shredded green cabbage, red cabbage, and carrot blend.
Mayo: Use light or full-fat mayo.
Dijon: 1 tablespoon Dijon gives the slaw a tangy flavor.
White Vinegar: Use 2 tablespoons white vinegar.
Honey: Honey adds the perfect touch of sweetness.
Garlic Powder: Use 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
Salt: Use 3/4 teaspoon salt.
Black Pepper: Use 1/2 tsp ground black pepper.

Toppings and Extras:

Provolone Cheese: I prefer provolone cheese for tis recipe; however, Havarti, blue cheese, or mozzarella would also be delicious!
Ciabatta Rolls

Shredding the Chicken

I like to use my stand mixer to shred the chicken! It makes it super simple and quick! If you don’t have a stand mixer on hand, you can also use a hand mixer or 2 forks.

Assembling the Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches

This Buffalo Chicken Sandwich recipe could not be easier to make. Here are the steps:

Add the slaw mix to a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, combine mayo, Dijon, white vinegar, hoeny, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour over slaw mix and set mix until fully combined. Set aside.
Place rotisserie chicken in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat the chicken until shredded. Pour buffalo sauce over shredded chicken and toss until fully coated.
Slice ciabatta rolls and place on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Add a generous spoonful of buffalo chicken onto each roll. Top with provolone cheese.
Broil in oven for 3-5 minutes or until bubbly and ciabatta rolls are evenly toasted.
Top each sandwich with a spoonful of the coleslaw.
Serve warm!
