MEXICAN PULLED CHICKEN

This recipe is so good and can be used with so many different Mexican dishes: Tacos, Quesadillas, Enchiladas, Mexican Lasagna, Nachos, etc...

I cut the recipe in half and it was enough for at least 12-14 small tacos.

Ingredients

• 1 sweet red pepper, stemmed and seeded and cut into large rings or chopped
• 1 large onion, trimmed and cut into large rings or chopped
• 4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast halves, trimmed (or 2 lbs chicken breast & 2 lbs chicken thighs)
• 4 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 2 (14.5) ounce cans diced tomatoes
• 4 tablespoons tomato paste

4. In a medium sauce pan, place all other ingredients and heat to a boil. Stir to combine ingredients and remove from heat.
5. Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken. Cover with foil.
