Steps:
- For the poblanos: Heat the grill to high. Brush the poblanos with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the chiles on the grill and cook until charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from the grill, place in a bowl and cover with plastic for 10 minutes. Remove the skin, seeds and stem and cut into thin slices. For the onions: Brush the onions with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook until lightly golden brown and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Brush with some of the bbq sauce during the last few minutes. Most of the skin should come off on the grill, but if not, take it off when the onions come off the grill. For the coleslaw: Whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, celery salt, celery seed, vinegar and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot, onion and scallion and stir to combine, season with more salt and pepper, if needed. Let slaw sit at least 15 minutes before serving. For the chicken: Heat the grill to high. Whisk together the ancho, cinnamon, cumin, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper in a small bowl. Season top side of the breasts with the rub mixture, turn over and season the back with the remaining salt. Drizzle with some of the oil and place on the grill, rub side down and grill until lightly golden brown and a crust has formed, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken over, close the lid and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 6 minutes longer. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Grill the flour tortillas briefly, just to mark and heat. To build the tacos, fold each tortilla around some of the chicken, poblanos, onions, coleslaw and guacamole.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size and thickness. This will help them cook evenly.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken breasts in a flavorful marinade will help them stay moist and juicy during cooking. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, or you can try one of the more complex marinades described in the article.
- Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help prevent the chicken from drying out. If you're using a grill, place the chicken breasts over the indirect heat zone. If you're using an oven, place the chicken breasts in a roasting pan and cook them at a low temperature.
- Cook the chicken to the right internal temperature: The safe internal temperature for cooked chicken is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature using a meat thermometer.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

BBQ chicken breasts are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
