If I’m going to give you a recipe for a condiment, like my homemade Mango Chutney, I’m also going to provide you with some creative and tasty ways to use it. So far we’ve had the Mango Chutney Chicken and the Grilled Cheese and Chutney Sandwiches, Pineapple Mango Crumble, Mango Lassi and Mango Salsa. Here’s another one: Low fat and delicious Pulled Chicken Mango Sandwiches. Ah mangoes, I love you! Prep time involves throwing the ingredients in the slow cooker and turning the switch to “low.” Then removing the chicken from the bones and returning it to the slow cooker. That’s it! Let the slow cooker do all the work. Now all you have to do is EAT.
What to Serve With It
You can serve these pulled chicken mango sandwiches with any of your classic favorite sides like:

Let’s get started! Combine the mango chutney, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, salt, pepper, red chile flakes and water in a bowl and stir to combine.
Place the bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts in the slow cooker and slather them with the sauce. Place the slow cooker on the “low” setting and cook for 8-10 hours, making sure there is always liquid on the bottom to prevent burning and adding a little water as needed.
After 8-10 hours, voila! Look at that glorious, juicy, tender slow-cooked mango chicken!
Transfer the chicken to a plate (leave the juices in the slow cooker – we’ll still need them).
Remove and discard the skin. Remove the chicken from the bones. Discard the bones.
Either shred the chicken on the plate and add it to the slow cooker, or transfer the pieces to the slow cooker and use a fork to shred it there. Either way, you choose.
Allow the shredded chicken to soak up the juices. Keep warm until ready to serve.
Use a slotted spoon to strain the excess juices from the chicken and place some of the chicken on the bottom halves of the buns. Spoon some extra homemade Mango Chutney on top along with some shredded red cabbage. If desired, place some lettuce on the buns before adding the chicken.
Serve with your choice of sides (see blog post above for ideas). Enjoy!
