Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

Ingredients...
I know...It doesn't look too impressive, but let me tell you, this pile of ingredients turned into one yummy dinner!!
  • 2 onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3/4 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 Tbsp. cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. molasses
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Tabasco
  • 1/2 tsp. salt (I like to use coarse kosher salt)
  • whole wheat hamburger buns
  1. Scatter onions on bottom of slow cooker. Arrange chicken on top of onions.
  2. In a bowl, combine ketchup, vinegar, mustard, molasses, onion powder, cumin, garlic powder, Tabasco and salt. Pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low until chicken is fork-tender and sauce has thickened, about 5 hours.
  3. Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred meat. Stir back in to sauce.(I shred mine with my Pampered Chef choppers as it is still cooking instead of removing it.)
  4. Serve hot on whole wheat bun! (We add cheddar or pepper-jack cheese...YUM!)
The best part is it is much healthier than you would think...232 calories per serving!
Paired it with sweet potato wedges and grilled, seasoned corn on the cob!!

OH YEAH.....Another step- Do not tell your husband it has mustard if he is anything like my husband. Jasper hates mustard so bad that he literally will not eat a sandwich if they accidently get any mustard on it. SO, although he said he loved it, he also swears he could taste the mustard, of course I think he's crazy!;))
