Pulled Chicken Sandwiches with Mango Slaw

These were good. While I do have a pulled chicken sandwich recipe that I like better, I would definitely make these again simply because of how quick they are to make. Next time, though, I would probably make some more of the chicken mixture because the portion size was just a bit small for a hungry husband :)

The coleslaw was really good, too. My 6 1/2-year-old daughter, Ella, thanked me for putting mango in it!

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground ginger

12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
