Ingredients

12 total
  • 1 tin of 400g chopped tomatoes
  • 100 ml of barbecue sauce
  • 2 tsp of chipotle paste
  • 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp of sweet smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp of garlic granules
  • 1 splash of worcestershire sauce
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
  • 1 tbsp of coriander, chopped, for serving
  • 1 tbsp of crème fraîche

Method

2 steps

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, mix together the chopped tomatoes, barbecue sauce, chipotle paste, vinegar, paprika, garlic granules, Worcestershire sauce and lime zest. Stir in the onion and chicken thighs and place the whole lot in a slow cooker for 4-6 hours, depending on how much time you have. Cook for 4 hours on a higher setting or for 6 hours on the lowest setting.

  2. Step 2

    Shred the chicken with two forks (it should literally just fall apart), squeeze in the lime juice and serve with a sprinkle of fresh coriander and some crème fraîche, if you like.
