Slow Cooked Pulled Chicken

 

Tonight's dinner was slow cooked pulled chicken. It made a very delicious and flavorful sandwich.

Serve it with shredded cabbage or lettuce tossed with low-fat mayonnaise, cider vinegar and honey to taste. It would also work great with a side of mashed potatoes or macaroni salad.

Preparation time is only 20 minutes and the slow cooker does the rest.

Slow Cooked Pulled Chicken
Here is what I used to make this:
Serves about 3

Ingredients

• 3 -4 boneless skinless chicken thighs (I seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper,cumin and a pinch of thyme and put it in the refrigerator overnight)
• 1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed tomato soup (I used Amy's Organic Chunky Tomato Bisque, but Campbell's Tomato soup works as well)
• 3/4 cup onion, chopped
  
• 1/4 cup vinegar
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar 
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon of basil
• 1 teaspoon of parsley
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1-2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional for additional spiciness)
• 1 pinch ground thyme
• hamburger buns

Directions:

1. Spray bottom of slow cooker with nonstick spray, and place the chicken evenly along the bottom.

2. Combine all other ingredients in a bowl (only use half of the onions, set the rest aside for step #4) and pour over chicken. 

3. Cover tightly and cook on low* for 7-8 hours or on high* for 4 hours. 

4. Shred Chicken with fork within the last 2 hours of cooking (add the rest of the onions on top for more flavor).

5. Serve on hamburger buns (bulkie rolls work as well).
