I wanted to make a lower fat alternative to traditional pork shoulder carnitas. This version is made by braising boneless skinless chicken thighs on the stovetop instead of slow cooking or pressure cooking. Then broiling to create crispy edges on the carnitas instead of frying in lard. 

You're left with a protein option that has 210 calories, 22g of protein, 4g of carbs, and 11g of fat per 4-ounce serving (recipe makes 8 servings).
