This Mango Sriracha Pulled Chicken Burger Recipe is a must-try this bbq season! A healthy alternative to pulled pork that is lower in fat and free from sugar! Sweet, smoky and slightly spicy and so juicy – simple divine!

This Pulled Chicken Burger recipe is perfect for using up a leftover rotisserie chicken or roasted chicken.

Pulled chicken is huge in our household! We love it! To the degree that we often buy a whole rotisserie chicken just to pull it apart and throw it into a pot with a nice sauce and turn it into a huge batch of tender and delicious pulled chicken.

Compared to pork and beef, pulled chicken is just as easy to make but is a lot cheaper and takes less time. It is also lower in fat and calories! And what better way to eat a juicy pile of shredded meat than in a Healthy Mango and Sriracha Pulled Chicken Burger?

I am constantly on the lookout for new, exciting Pulled Chicken Recipes and when I found this recipe on the Inquiring Chef, which uses Mango and Sriracha Sauce for a Slow Cooker Version of Pulled Chicken, I was sold!

Why you will love this Pulled Chicken Burger Recipe:

The sweetness of the mango is just perfect against the spicy red sriracha sauce and turns this Healthy Pulled Chicken Burger into an exciting dish.

I don’t own a slow cooker so I just added all the ingredients to the shredded meat and let it simmer on low heat. To incorporate the mango flavor we use both mango puree and fresh mango cubes.

That way, we do not have to add any refined sugar, ketchup or bbq sauce to this pulled chicken. Don’t skimp on the Sriracha Sauce as it adds the necessary oomph to this healthy chicken dish.

FAQ:

Do I need a rotisserie chicken or roasted chicken to make pulled chicken?

Nope, you don’t even need to get a whole chicken, Instead, you can quickly cook chicken thighs or breasts in an Instant Pot or Slow Cooker. Here are instructions that teach you how.

How to shred a cooked chicken:

The quickest way to shred chicken meat is with a hand mixer! To do so, place the chicken in a large mixing bowl, then use a hand mixer on low speed to break the chicken meat into little shreds.
You can also shred the chicken meat the good old fashioned way using two forks. Or your hand forks aka. your fingers. Just be sure to let the chicken meat rest until it is cool enough to handle safely.

How long does Mango Sriracha Pulled Chicken last in the fridge?

If you are a meal prepper like me, go ahead and make a big batch of pulled chicken on Sunday night. You can safely keep in the fridge for a week.
