Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle cola-flavored carbonated beverage (such as Coca-Cola®)

  • 1 ½ cups barbeque sauce

  • ½ cup raspberry walnut vinaigrette

  • ¼ cup light brown sugar

  • 3 tablespoons honey

  • 2 tablespoons teriyaki marinade (such as Kikkoman®)

  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise, or to taste

  • 8 medium hamburger buns, split

Directions

  1. Place chicken in a slow cooker and pour cola-flavored beverage around it. Turn slow cooker to High and cook for 3 hours.

  2. Meanwhile, mix barbecue sauce, vinaigrette, brown sugar, honey, teriyaki marinade, and cardamom in a mixing bowl until well blended. Place in the refrigerator.

  3. After 3 hours, remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred. Set aside 1/2 cup of the cooking juices and discard the rest.

  4. Return chicken and 1/2 cup juice to the slow cooker; stir to combine. Remove barbecue sauce from the refrigerator and pour and blend it into the chicken. Cook for 1 more hour.

  5. Spread mayonnaise on hamburger buns and fill with pulled chicken and sauce.

Cook's Notes:

For a thicker sauce, use Sweet Baby Ray's(R) Original.

To make as an appetizer, serve on slider buns.
