Cooking Tips and Tricks

• To add an extra layer of flavor, try mixing in a tablespoon of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce when browning the chicken.
• If you prefer a spicier dish, add a sliced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut cream for the chicken broth to make the sauce creamier.
• Utilize a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.

Photography Tips

When photographing your Latin fusion pulled chicken dish, consider capturing close-up shots of the shredded chicken to showcase its texture and juicy tenderness. Play with different angles, such as shooting from above or at a slight angle to create visual interest. Use natural light from a window or invest in a ring light for well-lit, professional-looking photos.
