Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tbsp Jerk seasoning
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 medium Onion (sliced)
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 6 Burger buns
- 2 cups Coleslaw mix
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Honey
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot and sprinkle them with jerk seasoning, ensuring they're evenly coated.
Add the minced garlic and sliced onion on top of the chicken.
In a small bowl, mix together pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and lime juice. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 5 hours or until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the coleslaw. In a mixing bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Once the chicken is cooked, shred it using two forks and let it sit in the juices for an additional 15 minutes to ensure it absorbs the flavors.
Toast the burger buns lightly for added texture and flavor.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing shredded jerked chicken on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a generous scoop of coleslaw. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful jerked chicken sandwiches!
