Pulled Mexican Lime Chicken from Kitchen Belleicious

Hello folks and welcome to the All Things Southern kitchen. It’s been a while since I bragged on my daughter, Jessica Ann. Wait, I meant since I shared a scrumptious dish from Miss Kitchen Belleicious. I’m here to correct that. I’ve got the ingredients and the recipe for her Pulled Mexican Lime Chicken with me and it’s yet another winner, so let’s get cooking!

“Pulled Mexican Lime Chicken from Kitchen Belleicious”

4 chicken breasts
¾ cup ketchup
½ cup water
⅛ cup brown sugar
2 TBSP apple cider vinegar
2 TBSP jalapeno juice
1 small can of green chilies, drained
½ cup of your favorite salsa
1 large lime, juiced plus 2 limes cut for the crockpot
1 small onion, chopped
1½ TBSP chopped cilantro (and more for garnish if you want)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp salt and pepper each
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp chili powder

We’ll begin my placing these four chicken breasts in the bottom of our crockpot and seasoning them well with salt and pepper. Then we’ll get a mixing bowl and stir up the sauce. We’ll begin with 3/4 cup of ketchup, a half cup of water, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of jalapeno juice, and the juice of a large lime. To this, we’ll add a 1/8 cup of brown sugar, a small can of drained green chilies and a 1/2 cup of salsa. (No particular brand, just use your favorite.)

We’re going to dice up a small onion and add it to our sauce along with a tablespoon and half of chopped cilantro, 2 cloves of minced garlic, a teaspoon each of salt, pepper and cumin, and a 1/2 teaspoon of paprika and chili powder.

We’ll pour this sauce over the chicken breasts and slice a couple of limes around them. Then we’ll cover the crockpot and cook on low for about 5 and 1/2 hours. To serve, we’ll transfer the chicken breasts to a large bowl and pull them apart before spooning a ½ cup of the crockpot juice over the pulled meat and gently stirring it to coat. You’re done! Discard the limes and serve with your favorite buns, taco shells or tortillas. UMMM, UM! That’s Mexican Lime Pulled Chicken and it’s delicious from the kitchens of Ms. Bellecious and All Things Southern to yours~
