Notes

Want to learn how to turn this chicken into quesadillas, potpie, a casserole or grain salad? Check out this article. Tips, hints and suggestions Unsulphured molasses has a deeper, darker taste because it’s made from mature sugarcanes that don’t need sulfur dioxide as a preservative. Substitute sorghum syrup at will.Even with hot canned green chilies, the pulled chicken may be too mild for your taste. Over the long haul, slow cookers destroy capsaicin, the fiery chemical in chilies. Go with mild chilies in the batch and offer fiery condiments at the table.Alter the presentation here by serving in whole-wheat pita pockets with shredded lettuce, sliced fresh tomatoes and a small dollop of creamy lowfat dressing.The pulled chicken freezes exceptionally well. Store it, tightly sealed, in one- or two-serving containers to be thawed in the fridge and then heated in the microwave on high for 3 or 4 minutes.
