Dietitians love food that can be easily batch-cooked and repurposed. This is especially the case when it comes to protein, and there’s something about pulled, shredded chicken that feels more versatile and tasty than baked chicken breasts.
This recipe is full of flavor (and yes, contains real bacon from a quality source) and can be used in several ways. Serve it atop a salad, thrown into an omelet, inside a lettuce wrap with hummus and guacamole, or alongside some stir-fried veggies.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. chicken breast, ideally organic and pastured
- 1 pack organic, nitrate-free bacon, chopped
- 1 tbs. dried thyme
- 1 tbs. dried oregano
- 1/2 tbs. dried rosemary
Directions
STEP 1
Add all ingredients to a slow cooker. Cook on high for four to five hours until the chicken shreds easily with a fork.
