# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F.
02 - Pat chicken breasts dry, then season both sides evenly with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken breasts for 2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
04 - Transfer chicken to a baking dish. Pour chicken broth and barbecue sauce over the chicken, then cover tightly with foil.
05 - Bake 20–25 minutes, until chicken is thoroughly cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.

07 - Bake fries for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway for even crispiness, until golden and crisp.
08 - Remove chicken from the oven. Using two forks, shred the chicken and toss with sauce remaining in the baking dish.
09 - Brush slider buns with melted butter and toast in oven for 3–4 minutes until lightly golden.
10 - Layer shredded BBQ chicken on the bottom half of each bun, top with cheddar cheese and coleslaw, then cap with the remaining bun.
