Preparation Caribbean pulled chicken

Heat the butter or oil in a pan over medium heat. Chop the onion and fry in the fat for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Cut the thigh fillets into strips of a centimeter thick and add them to the onion in the pan.

Fry the strips for a while and then add all the other ingredients. Then stir everything well again.

You can now add some water until the chicken is just covered. In our case, half a liter was sufficient. (it really depends on the width of your pan how much you need in the end).

Then place the lid on the pan and let the chicken simmer on low heat for about 50 minutes. Does the chicken threaten to cook completely dry? Then add some extra water.

When the chicken is cooked through and tender, remove the pan from the heat. Let the chicken cool slightly and then remove the pieces of meat from the sauce. To make the pulled chicken, proceed as follows: Pull all pieces of chicken apart well with two forks, until you are left with pulled meat.

Finally, place the chicken pieces in a serving bowl and pour a little of the sauce over them. - Enjoy your dinner!

Tip: Serve the Caribbean pulled chicken with, for example, cucumber, pickled Jalapeño peppers or pieces of bell pepper. You can fill a sandwich with it, but it is also irresistible over rice or potatoes.
