Today’s WINNING recipe to meet Coach JC’s 10 WINNING Habits is Easy Slow Cooker Shredded Mexican Chicken. Where is my lean protein?
Ingredients:
2 pounds chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup salsa
3-4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 4 oz. can mild diced green chilies
1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes drained
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon each: ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder
1/2 teaspoon each: smoked paprika, dry oregano, pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chili pepper (more for additional heat)
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
Hot sauce to taste
Directions:
Rub chicken breasts with oil and place in the bottom your slow cooker. Add all of the remaining ingredients except for hot sauce. Cook on high for 2-4 hours or on low for 6 – 7 hours or until chicken is tender enough to shred.
Remove chicken to a cutting board, and let rest 5 minutes before shredding (there will be liquid remaining). Return shredded chicken and let cook only for an additional 20 minutes to absorb some of the liquid/juices. Drain all excess liquid/juices. (If serving over rice, cook rice in this liquid. Taste and add hot sauce to taste if desired.
