Pulled Chicken Tacos

Serves 4

Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

For the Pulled Chicken

2 tbsp olive oil

500g boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp ground cumin

½ tsp chilli powder (optional)

400g canned chopped tomatoes

2 tbsp tomato paste

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp honey

Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Tacos

8 small soft tortillas

150g smoked cheddar

Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish

Lime wedges, to serve

Method

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear on both sides until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

In the same pan, sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes. Add smoked paprika, cumin, and chilli powder, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Season with salt and pepper. Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.

Remove the chicken and shred using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce, stirring to coat.

Place a spoonful pulled chicken into the tortillas, top with grated cheddar, fresh coriander and serve with lime wedges.
