MEXICAN PULLED CHICKEN

Mexican Pulled Chicken is easy to make, super flavorful and the basis for so many delicious meals!
The key is to use a mix of white and dark meat in this recipe (we used a combination of boneless chicken thighs and breasts) – because the thigh meat lends so much more flavor and juiciness to the finished dish than using the breast meat alone.

  • 4 tablespoons Agave Nectar
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
