Cook on high for 2-3 hours until the chicken breast is cooked through and shreddable. Use two forks to shred the chicken breast in the barbecue sauce.

Whisk all of the dressing ingredients together until everything is well combined. Add the shredded coleslaw mix and green onion to the dressing. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Toast the buns: Heat a large skillet or griddle of over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl or push around until melted. Place the buns, cut side down, and toast for 30 seconds until golden brown.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Top the toasted brioche buns with the shredded bbq chicken, a little more barbecue sauce (if desired), and a generous spoonful of slaw. Serve and enjoy!
