Ingredients

2lb of chicken thighs, boneless (may use breast as well I used 1 lb thighs)
28 oz plum tomatoes, canned
½ onion chopped or small onion
1 TB minced garlic
1 heaping TB of jerk paste (I use mild) (important to use paste and not dry rub)
1 TB of smokey bbq sauce
1 packet Goya Sazon
a few springs of thyme
Salt to taste

Instructions

While using your favorite poaching method to poach your chicken, prepare your jerk sauce
Puree tomatoes, onion and garlic in food processor or high speed blender. (I left a few chunks because I like to bite into onion pieces.)
Add tomato puree to a large dutch pot and turn heat to low.
Add the remaining ingredients, mix well and let simmer. (If you’re daring and want more of a kick, add 1-2 more TB of jerk paste)
Once finished poaching the chicken, remove from poaching liquid and shred the chicken.
Once shredded add the chicken to the finished jerk sauce.
Save the leftover poaching liquid in a clean tightly sealed glass jar and use wherever a recipe calls for chicken broth
TO ASSEMBLE
Layer a mix of plantain chips, cassava (yucca) chips and corn tortilla chips on a cookie sheet.
Top with jerk chicken
Add shredded cheddar cheese
Place under broiler just long enough for cheese to melt.
Remove from broiler and top with mango salsa, queso fresco and a drizzle or dollop of avocado cream.
