Pulled Chicken Sandwiches with Apple Slaw

This post is sponsored by STAR Fine Foods.

In most places around the country, summer means spending as much time outdoors as possible and grilling out. But, if you live in Arizona, the thought of standing in front of a hot grill in the 110 degree heat makes me want to just run and hide! Do. Not. Want! I use my slow cooker all of the time, any time of the year. And these slow cooker pulled chicken sandwiches with apple slaw? Well, they are just making me so happy right now!

What really makes this recipe for me is the apple cider vinegar from STAR Fine Foods. It’s organic and made from real crushed apples. I used it in the both the pulled chicken recipe and the dressing for the apple slaw. I adore apple cider vinegar for so many reasons. First, it has so many health benefits like lowering cholesterol, weight loss, and promotes healthy blood sugar. And secondly, I love the flavor it adds to recipes!

This is one of those recipes that is just perfect all year round whether it’s for a summer party where it’s too hot to grill or the colder months!
