Spicy Citrus Pulled Chicken Sandwich

    I always see these amazing recipes for slow cooked pulled pork and drool over them.  Unfortunately, we don't keep pork in our house, so I decided to make it with chicken.  My neighbor Marina always makes delicious slow cooked taco chicken.  So with the idea of her chicken, and slow cooked pork in my head, I am going to try and whip something up. 
   I have oranges, garlic, and peppers from the garden.  So that is already a good start!

Ingredients:
2 cups water
6 chicken thighs
3 cloves of garlic
1 orange
1 large pepper (or a can of roasted peppers)
1 yellow onion
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter 


cilantro
sour cream
4 Kaiser rolls

Directions:

Slice the orange, chop the pepper, chop the onion, and chop the garlic.  Throw everything into a crock pot.  Cook it on high for 6 hours.  If you want to put everything in before work you can cook in on low for more like 9 hours. You have got to love the simplicity of a slow cooker!!

Right before you eat, use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the crock pot.  There will be quite a bit of liquid left in the pot.  Roughly chop some cilantro and mix it in with the chicken.  Cilantro is much more flavorful raw than cooked.  It also adds a nice fresh cool flavor that contrasts nicely with the spicy chicken.

        Spread a bit of butter on a kaiser roll and toast it.  While this may seem like a small step, it adds a nice crunch!
        Put a heaping pile of the meat on the bread and top it with a dollop of sour cream.  The cream acts like mayo in a turkey sandwich.  It is also cool and creamy which adds that last element of flavor to make it just right.  
     Now, enjoy the rich, moist flavor of the chicken! The orange flavor is barely identifiable, but add a great layer of flavor and sweetness.  When you are done, write me and let me know how it turned out!
