• Serves: 6
• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 6 hours
• Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 tin 400g chopped tomatoes
• 100ml barbecue sauce
• 2 tsp chipotle paste
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
• 1 tsp garlic granules
• 1 splash Worcestershire sauce
• 1 lime, zested and juiced
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 6 chicken thighs, skinless and boneless
• 1 tbsp coriander, chopped, for serving
• 1 tbsp crème fraîche

Method

1. In a bowl, mix together the chopped tomatoes, barbecue sauce, chipotle paste, vinegar, paprika, garlic granules, Worcestershire sauce and lime zest. Stir in the onion and chicken thighs and place the whole lot in a slow cooker for 4-6 hours, depending on how much time you have. Cook for 4 hours on a higher setting or for 6 hours on the lowest setting.
2. Shred the chicken with two forks (it should literally just fall apart), squeeze in the lime juice and serve with a sprinkle of fresh coriander and some crème fraiche, if you like.
