Prep
- Place all sandwich ingredients (except for the buns, ketchup, and pickles) in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. When done, take chicken out of slow cooker. Shred with two forks and then place back in juices. Let sit for at least 20 minutes, and then season to taste with more salt, pepper, vinegar, or sugar. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Potatoes - Place into a pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil, and then simmer until you can easily insert a knife through the potatoes, ~6 to 10 minutes. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Dressing - Dice pickles and chop dill. Mix together pickles with mayo/veganaise, Greek yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and dill. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
