Tangy, spicy shredded chicken served with fresh salsa loaded with all the flavors of the Caribbean.

Easy Shredded Jerk Chicken with Mango Avocado Salsa can be made in a crockpot, stovetop, or instapot.

This dish is adapted from Skinny Taste’s Slow-Cooked Jerk Pork and modified for us non-mammal eaters. It’s been a long time Jones family favorite and was one of the first recipes published on this blog. I’ve pulled it up from the archives to make a few improvements and update the photos to better do justice to the deliciousness of this simple dish.

This is one of Brad’s favorite meals and, while I absolutely love it too, my favorite part is that I can prep it on Sunday, leave it in the fridge while the flavors meld into something magical, then pull it out Monday for a quick weeknight meal.

Speaking of magic, this dish can be made in a crockpot, instapot or on the stovetop. Its amazing versatility is only matched by its deliciousness.

Serve with a side of black beans, rice, or cucumber slices and I know this will be a new family favorite.
