Healthy pulled chicken (no sugar added)

Update (7/20/2020)

I made it even healthier by adding veggies. The string beans melted away, added juice and thickened the sauce. I also cook small potatoes on top and mashed 4 of them. I think I could add almost any vegetable but i won't take a chance.

Scott's verdict : " It's really good!"

I like to make it before going on a boat trip. Scott makes wraps out of it and I make sandwiches, salad or I complement it with whatever side dish I have. I even make Chinese fried farro sometimes, sounds weird but it's good.

Healthy pulled chicken

Ingredients

4 Chicken breasts

3/4 cup Crushed tomatoes

1/2 cup Apple sauce

1 teaspoon Onion powder

5 squirts Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

2 Chipotles in Adobe with 1 teaspoon of the sauce

1 teaspoon Garlic purée

1 teaspoon Turmeric

1 teaspoon Chili powder

1 teaspoon Paprika

2 Shredded carrots

2 handfuls Shredded string beans

1 bag Small potatoes

Directions

Place the chicken in a slow cooker, add the other ingredients and mix directly in the cooker. Put the lid on, turn on slow and let it be for 4 hours. Add the 2 shredded carrots, the 2 handfuls of string beans and the potatoes. Cook 4 more hours. You can also cook on high and reduce the time in half.

Mash 4 of the potatoes to thicken the sauce.

Coming back from work with that aroma is wonderful.

Use your favorite veggies, make it à la you and let me know if you try it.
