Cooking Tips and Tricks

  • For extra flavor, try adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce.

  • To save time, consider using a slow cooker to cook the chicken on low for 4-6 hours until tender and easy to shred.

Photography Tips

When photographing this dish, try capturing the steam rising from the pulled chicken to give it a fresh-off-the-stove look. Experiment with different angles and lighting to find the perfect shot that showcases the vibrant colors of the dish.
