Crockpot Caribbean Style Pulled Chicken Lettuce Wraps

img_0167

I’ve recently been on a Caribbean kick ever since our honeymoon. I’m calling it honeymoon withdrawals. We are also getting back on the healthy eating diet since we may have splurged just a little too much…..

Pulled Chicken Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 lbs Boneless and Skinless Chicken (I used breast and thigh)
  • 15oz Diced Fire Roasted Canned Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper – diced
  • 1 Onion – diced
  • 4 Garlic Cloves – minced
  • 1 Jalapeno – minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 Tbsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp All Spice
  • 1 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Sugar
Mango Salsa Ingredients:
  1. 2 Large Mangos – diced
  2. 1/4 cup Diced Red Onion
  3. 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Cilantro
  4. Juice of 1/2 lime
  5. Salt and Pepper to taste

Additional: 

Butter Lettuce for wraps

Directions:
  • Place all of the pulled chicken ingredients into your crockpot. Mix to combine flavors, and cook for 6 – 8 hours on low.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare your mango salsa. In a bowl, gently mix all the salsa ingredients and set aside in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.
  • When the chicken is done cooking, remove the chicken and place it into a large bowl. Shred with two forks or with a hand mixer (that’s the fastest and easiest way). Place shredded chicken back into the crockpot and let sit for 10 minutes to soak up some of the juices.
  • To serve: assemble your lettuce wraps. Top with mango salsa.
