Split Pea Soup
Carolina Pulled Chicken with Slaw
| By : |

Meet pulled pork’s sassier yet leaner cousin. This one is perfect any time of year, but it works especially well in the warmer months when you can dine in the yard (or on the terrace). Although commonly eaten in a sandwich, the sweet, sour, and savory pulled chicken is equally delicious when tossed with a salad. The optional slaw gives it a cool, crisp touch.

Instructions
- If you’re making the slaw, combine all the slaw ingredients in a large bowl and toss well to mix. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To make the chicken, put the broth and chicken in the pot. Secure the lid, move the valve to the sealing position, hit Keep Warm/Cancel, and then hit Manual or Pressure Cook on High Pressure for 12 minutes (or up to 17 if using very thick breasts).
Quick release when done. - While the chicken’s cooking or releasing, whisk together the Carolina sauce ingredients in a bowl.
- Transfer the chicken to a bowl (you can discard the liquid or save it for a rainy day). Shred the chicken with two forks or an electric mixer (this makes life so easy!). Add the Carolina sauce and toss until combined. Serve with the slaw, if desired.

JEFF’S TIP: Feel free to serve up this dish any way you like it. Wrapping the pulled chicken and slaw in romaine or Bibb lettuce leaves is wonderful!

Why does it say 1 tsp of garlic powder and onion powder twice under the Carolina sauce?
The coleslaw is too spicy for us and the chicken is really sweet. It was ok but not my favorite.
