A great start to any meal is a fantastic main ingredient. This pulled chicken is full of wonderful flavor and makes an excellent filling for tacos, burritos, pot pies, grain salads and casseroles. The spicy-sweet sauce comprised of vinegar, tomato, and molasses gets a smokey flavor from the paprika and it's mild heat from the canned green chiles. Using hot chiles may add some spice but fiery condiments will add the real heat and some control for each of your guests. Try this chicken in a whole wheat pita with fresh lettuce and tomatoes for a terrific lunch or light dinner. Make a big batch and freeze some for an easy main on other nights. The simple prep on this dish will allow you to throw it together at almost anytime.
