Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I sliced mine in half lengthwise, as they were fairly thick)
  • 2 (10-ounce) cans RO*TEL Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies, drained
  • 1/3 cup white onion, chopped
  • 3-4 garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3-4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves torn, plus extra for garnish
  • 10 sandwich buns, sliced in half, horizontally

Instructions

  1. Add the diced tomatoes to a food processor along with the onion, garlic, honey, Worcestershire sauce, coriander, cumin, chili powder, salt and ground black pepper.
  2. Pulse until smooth.
  3. Add the chicken to the slow cooker set to low heat. Pour the RO*TEL mixture over the chicken, cover with the lid, and cook for 4 hours.
  4. Turn off the slow cooker and remove the chicken. Use two forks to shred the chicken into pieces.
  5. Add the chicken to a bowl. Squeeze the lime juice over the chicken and add the torn cilantro leaves.
  6. Add about 1 cup of the remaining sauce to the chicken, more or less to taste, and mix to combine.
  7. Serve the chicken on sandwich buns with extra sauce on the side.
