Slow Cooked Pulled Jerk Chicken


This recipe is for the spicy food lovers. Jamaican jerk is a seasoning used to kick up chicken, fish, and pork dishes (but not limited to that).


Serving size: 6 

Ingredients:
3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp minced garlic
3 tbsp (mild) Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning
1 cup orange juice
5 carrots, chopped (optional)
 

What To Do:
1.  Place chicken breasts at the bottom of your crock pot and top with chopped carrots.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together garlic, orange juice, and jerk seasoning. Pour over chicken and carrots in crock pot. 
3. Cook on low for 6 hours. (Add 1/2 cup water if the consistency is too dry for your Shred chicken with two forks by pulling chicken in opposite directions with the forks. 
4. Put crock pot on 'keep warm' setting and let shredded chicken marinate in the sauce for an additional 30 minutes.
5. Serve over rice, in a sandwich or it's perfectly good by itself if you are limiting carbs. 

Jamaican jerk seasoning can be found in the Ethnic aisle at most grocery stores. I bought the 'hot & spicy' one but I recommend you start off with the mild which is still spicy or use only 1.5 tbsp of the hot & spicy.

Enjoy!

  3. I do love a great chicken crock pot recipe!! The crock pot always manages to keep the chicken from drying out, unlike the oven. It has been awhile since I had jerk chicken....pinning for later!!!
