Ingredients
3 Boneless-Skinless Chicken Breasts
1/2 cup diced Jalapeno (seeds out)
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup beef stock
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 tablespoon tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Directions
Add olive oil to coat the bottom of a saute pan, place over med-high heat. When pan gets hot add the chicken breasts, saute about 5 minutes each side or until fully cooked. Take the chicken out of the pan, turn the heat down to medium, and cut into large chunks and put in a food processor.
Add jalapenos into hot chicken pan with a pinch of salt and saute for 8-10 minutes.
While jalapenos saute add the ketchup, beef stock, worcestershire, vinegar, honey, tabasco sauce, and garlic powder in a medium sized saucepan and put on stove over medium heat. Stir sauce occasionally to keep it smooth.
Go back to the chicken in the food processor. Slowly pulse the processor until the chicken has a shredded appearance. Add shredded chicken back to pan with jalapenos when they are done sauteing and mix together, turn off heat.
Once the sauce is thick enough to stick to the spoon (about 10 minutes) pour into a large bowl, add the chicken and jalapeno mixture to the mix and mix everything well together.
