Pulled Chicken Chili with Three Chillies
I am really proud of this dish- it tastes fabulous. It is bit involved but is so worth the work. I would make it on a weekend. I used a variety of chilies- not spicy, just flavorful ones. I cooked chicken thighs in a delicious sauce and shredded the meat for the chili.
I served it with a delicious apple bean relish which provides an amazing crunch and lightness to the dish. To make it even more yummy, I topped it all off with a dollop of guacamole.
Enjoy!

Mango Relish
My daughter loves mangoes like a normal kid likes candy. A few weeks ago I noticed the yellow altaulfo mangoes that we love so much at Whole Foods. I bought four of them since they were a little pricey but I had to get them for my daughter. She was ecstatic to see them in the kitchen and wanted one right away. The four mangoes were gone in two days! I found more in Costco-they were selling a pack of 6 and were slightly cheaper as well- so I bought those also! I happen to visit an Indian grocery store in Edison, and what do you know- they had a whole case- well I bought it as well. You can imagine how many mangoes we had in the house now! My daughter was eating two a day but I still had to come up with ideas to consume them- so when I made the Jerk chicken, I decided to make a mango relish to go with it. I had also bought a bottle of fresh mango pineapple juice at Whole Foods- it is the most glorious juice you will ever have. I am not a big juice person- but this is fabulous! I decided to use it in the relish but orange juice can be substituted. The relish can be used with fish, pork or with nacho chips! We ate it with the chicken and it was fabulous! My daughter realized we were now running low on the mangoes- so guess what I did- yup, I bought another case! I just made a strawberry mango topping for ice creams and cakes- recipe to come soon!
- 3 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
- 1/3 cup finely chopped green onions
- ½ cup cilantro, chopped
- 2 lemons, juiced
- ¼ cup fresh mango and pineapple juice (orange juice will do as well)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and let sit 30 minutes at room temperature.
