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).
