Anna Duke Jackfruit is part of the fig and mulberry family, native to South India. When cooked, it closely resembles the texture of pulled pork or pulled chicken! Jackfruit is rich in vitamin C, carotenoids, and flavonoids which act as antioxidants and fight inflammation. This recipe can absolutely be made with chicken- just substitute it 1:1 with the jackfruit. The only place I’ve been able to find canned jackfruit is Trader Joe’s- it only costs $1.99 per can!
RECIPE TIPS:
I recommend setting your cream cheese out for at least 2 hours before you start mixing. It will make it much easier to mix. I used the Greek cream cheese because it is higher in protein and lower in fat. I found it at the Lidl grocery store which is the only store I’ve seen it at so far. Both regular or reduced-fat cream cheese will work just as well for this recipe!
When it comes to the hot sauce, you can use more or less depending on your spice comfort level. I’m a person who can’t handle a lot of spice and so the 2 tbsp of Frank’s Red Hot in this recipe, in my opinion, puts the spice level at a 2 out of 5. If you like spicy foods, don’t be afraid to add more!
