1

To the slow cooker, combine the BBQ sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder. Mix well.

2

Place the chicken breast in the slow cooker and coat in the BBQ sauce mixture.

3

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.

4

Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken directly in the slow cooker.

5

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Split the Kings Hawaiian rolls and place the rolls on a baking sheet, cut side up. Toast the rolls until lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.

6

Distribute the shredded BBQ chicken on the bottom halves of the rolls.

7

Cover with the top halves of the rolls, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

8

Arrange the sliders on a serving platter, serve with coleslaw for a complete meal.
