📝 Ingredients

  • 2 red onions (, minced,)
  • 3 garlic cloves (, minced)
  • 140 g (5 oz) tomato purée ((1 whole tube))
  • 1 tbsp English mustard ((yellow mustard))
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar or Sukrin Gold sweetener
  • 2 tsp mild chilli powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 6 large chicken breasts (, skinless)
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • 80 ml (1/3 cup) chicken stock (or water, more if preferred)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Blitz the onions and garlic in a food processor or mince using a grater. Add the minced onions, garlic, tomato purée, mustard, vinegar, salt and spices in your slow cooker.
  2. 2Mix well using a wooden spoon until you have a thick paste.
  3. 3Add the chicken breasts and coat in the sauce.
  4. 4Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours on 4-6 hours on LOW. The chicken is ready when you can easily pull it apart using two forks or when it registers 75C/165F when checked with a digital thermometer.
  5. 5Use tongs to remove the chicken from the cooker and set aside on a cutting board or platter. Use two forks to shred the chicken.
  6. 6Add the shredded chicken back into the sauce together with 80ml (1/3 cup) water or chicken stock. Continue cooking on LOW for another hour or until the chicken is warmed through. Check the seasoning, adding salt and pepper if needed and serve.
