class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-notes-header wprm-block-text-bold\" id=\"notes-and-tips\">NOTES &#038; TIPS<\/h3><strong>(1) Chicken.<\/strong> I use fresh chicken; if yours is frozen, defrost in the refrigerator overnight before using in this recipe.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(2) Jalape\u00f1o.<\/strong> To reduce spiciness, remove the seeds and membranes, or omit the jalape\u00f1o completely.\u00a0To make this spicier, double the amount or replace with a serrano pepper. If you\u2019re sensitive to capsaicin, wear gloves while handling the jalape\u00f1o, especially if you come into contact with the seeds or membranes.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(3) Slow Cooker.<\/strong> I use a 6-quart oval <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2YfZ8gm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\">slow cooker<\/a>. A smaller capacity slow cooker should be fine as long as all ingredients can comfortably fit.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(4) Large Pan.<\/strong> I typically use a nonstick skillet or saute pan, 10 or 12 inches in diameter. This is an optional step \u2014 searing adds some color and a crisp texture, and I find it easier to do so on the stovetop rather than broiling in the oven.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(5) Tossing Meat With Juices.<\/strong> Cooking on high heat will result in significantly less leftover liquid in the slow cooker than low heat \u2014 operating at a higher heat level means that there is greater evaporation during cooking. Since there isn&#8217;t much leftover liquid when cooking at high heat, you&#8217;ll likely want to re-integrate all of it back with the shredded chicken. If your chicken was cooked at low heat, add a small amount of liquid to the shredded chicken at a time, 1\/4 to 1\/2 cup, until the meat is moistened to your liking.<\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><strong>(6) Serving.<\/strong> The shredded carnitas can be served with store-bought low carb tortillas to form burritos, tacos, or enchiladas, or as part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savorytooth.com\/burrito-bowl\/\">burrito bowl<\/a>. Top with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savorytooth.com\/5-ingredient-authentic-mexican-salsa\/\">tomato salsa<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savorytooth.com\/salsa-verde\/\">salsa verde<\/a>, pico de gallo, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savorytooth.com\/spicy-guacamole-dip\/\">guacamole<\/a>, chopped red onions, sour cream, cilantro, or hot sauce. Carnitas can also be refrigerated in an airtight container to be used as ready-made meats for the week&#8217;s lunches, served cold in a salad or as part of a hot meal by reheating in the microwave.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<a id=\"photos-and-tips\"><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21617,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3246,2598,1432],"tags":[14,437,19,1508,24,436,217,261,1511,15,1512],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
