Ragnar!

7/27/2022

0 Comments

 
This was my 9th Ragnar Race. Every time I do one, I learn something new about myself. It is challenging and fun, and as in life, I experience joys and sorrows.  When I am on the trail and pushing myself, I have choices in the moment, but I am not going to stop. Getting out of my head- and the craziness of everyday life- and back into nature, I am able to get back in touch with a sense of internal peace. I reflect on my experience and what I learned from this race, and invite you to share in these kinds of experiences with me and the Fuerte Community.

Jalapeños or Habanero-Blueberry Chicken Sandwiches

7/27/2022

Serves 6
Recipe by Jamie Vespa
Healthy and a crowd pleaser!
​
Active: 20 min. Total: 1 hr. 20 min.
Habaneros contain more capsaicin (the compound that contributes spicy heat) than jalapeños, but removing the seeds and membranes lessens that heat considerably.

Ingredients:
Cooking spray
2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
⅓ cup blueberry preserves
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. reduced-sodium Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. minced jalapeño 
Chiles, seeds and membranes removed, divided (I also used a tablespoon of habanero sauce for more heat)
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar, divided
½ tsp. kosher salt, divided
½ tsp. black pepper, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups very thinly sliced cored red cabbage
1 cup matchstick-cut carrots
½ cup thinly sliced radishes
⅓ cup chopped fresh basil or cilantro 
2 tbsp. lime juice
​1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tbsp. tapioca flour
1 tbsp. water
6 whole-wheat hamburger buns, of 12 mini sliders-lightly toasted

Instructions 
1. Coat a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray; place chicken in bottom of slow cooker.

2. Combine apricot preserves, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons habanero chile, 2 teaspoons vinegar, ¾ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and garlic in a bowl; stir with a whisk. Pour apricot mixture over chicken in slow cooker. Toss to coat. Cover and cook on LOW pressure in instapot or oven.

3. Combine cabbage, carrots, radishes, cilantro in a large bowl. Stir together lime juice, oil, remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar, remaining 1 teaspoon habanero, remaining ¼ teaspoon salt, and remaining ¼ teaspoon black pepper. In a separate smaller bowl. Add to cabbage mixture; toss to combine. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes.

4. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Shred with 2 forks; place in a large bowl. Skim fat from juices in slow cooker; discard fat. Combine cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Stir cornstarch mixtures into juices in slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH 5 minutes or until thickened. Add chicken back to slow cooker; toss to combine.

5. Place 5 or 2 ounces chicken mixture on each bun. Top each with ½ cup slaw.
