CarolCooks2 in my kitchen…Pulled Chicken/Turkey Rolls…

Chicken is such a very versatile protein it has little fat(unless we add it)…a healthy alternative to red meat… low in saturated fat, contains higher amounts of omega-6 fatty acids than other animal meats, and is high in protein and essential vitamins and minerals such as B6, B12, iron, zinc, and copper…

Today I am sharing… Pulled chicken and slaw Rolls…

Cooked in the slow cooker is the best way when it’s hot in the kitchen plus it saves energy and with fuel prices rising we need to conserve energy where we can as slow cookers use an average of 0.7k Wh of energy over 8 hrs against an oven that would use 2.2k Wh and who doesn’t love a cooler kitchen when it’s hot outside? …

Ingredients:

1.25 kg of chicken/turkey thigh joint(try as I may I just couldn’t get a turkey thigh joint)
2 medium onions thinly slice
900 ml of chicken stock
2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
1 tbsp of English mustard plus extra to serve(optional)
3 ml Apple Juice
2 tsp Paprika
2 tsp Allspice
2 tsp crushed chillies
2 star Anise

To serve:

8 Rolls
Coleslaw
Rocket Leaves(optional)

Put your Turkey in the slow cooker with the onions. then in a large jug mix the stock with the mustards add the apple juice and spices mix well then pour over your chicken/turkey to cover the meat. Cover and cook for 5 hrs on the highest setting.

Once the meat has cooked using a slotted spoon transfer the chicken/turkey to a serving plate with the onions and spices…remove the skin, bone and star anise then shred the meat with two forks…

Split your rolls and load up the meat with some of the onions and add coleslaw and rocket plus if you are my hubby he has to add his Daddies ketchup too…

Enjoy!
