Wash and dry all produce. Trim, then thinly slice @scallions{2%pieces}, separating greens and whites. Halve, core, and thinly slice @apple{1%pieces}.

In a #medium bowl{}, toss together scallion greens, apple, @shredded carrots{1%cup}, 1%tbsp @white wine vinegar{2%tbsp} (save the rest for step 4), a large drizzle of @olive oil{1%tbsp}, 1%tsp @sugar{1%tsp}, and a large pinch of salt. Set aside to marinate.

Tear @pulled chicken{10%oz} into smaller, bite-sized pieces. Heat a large drizzle of @vegetable oil{1%tbsp} in a #medium pan{} over medium-high heat. Add chicken, scallion whites, ¼%tsp @chipotle powder{1%tsp} (we’ll use the rest later), and a large pinch of salt. Toss to combine. Cook until chicken is warmed and starting to crisp at edges ~{3%minutes}.

Stir ¼%cup water, remaining white wine vinegar, @adobo sauce{1%tbsp}, and @chicken stock concentrate{1%unit} into pan with chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce is thick and coats meat ~{2%minutes}.

In a #small bowl{}, stir together @sour cream{½%cup}, a pinch of chipotle powder, 1%tsp water, and a pinch of salt. Taste and add more chipotle if you like it spicy. Split @brioche buns{2%pieces} in half. Tip: Enjoy a toasty bun? Toast the split buns in a toaster or in a 425 degree oven ~{4%minutes}.

Spread chipotle crema on cut side of buns, then fill buns with chicken and a little bit of slaw. Serve with remaining slaw on the side.
