Recipe for homemade Pulled Chicken

I am completely in love with pulled pork. I normally make pulled pork out of 4-5 kg (9-11 pounds) pork and then I just freeze the prepared meat in small plastic bags. Then I can take it out of the freezer in the morning and reheat it for dinner in the evening. Simple and super delicious! After having had so must pulled pork I decided to try out pulled chicken. In this page I describe how you can make healthy and tasteful pulled chicken. The great thing about pulled chicken is that it is not that difficult and time consuming to make compared to pulled pork, at least if you follow my recipe.

The cooking time of the chicken fillets is only about 3 hours compared to 10-15 hours for pulled pork. However, you get the best result if you marinade the chicken fillets overnight to make sure all the nice spices kicks in. The marinate step can be skipped if you are in a hurry.
Because pulled chicken is made out of chicken fillets it is a very healthy alternative to regular pulled pork which has a larger amount of fat and calories. You can choose to serve the pulled chicken with homemade burger buns or maybe in a homemade flour tortilla. In both cases the chicken goes great with coleslaw.
