Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

The whole title is black pepper and molasses pulled chicken sandwiches, but that is a little long, don't you think? The chicken was great for sandwiches, also great just on it's own. I doubled this recipe, because the leftovers were really good. In case you haven't noticed, I cook a whole bunch of stuff at one time then let it last for a few days. Works especially well since we're two busy students!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons molasses
2 tablespoons sharp honey mustard
1.5 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 package (around 3 breasts) chicken

This is easy...combine ALL ingredients in a dutch oven (or large saucepan...I used a dutch oven since I doubled) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for around 20-25 minutes or the chicken is done. Shred the chicken apart with two forks, then let simmer for another 10-20 minutes for additional flavor.


I served with whole wheat sandwich buns and coleslaw.
