A healthy Barbecue recipe! Can you imagine?

Every working woman needs a slow cooker, don't you agree? We bought one for my daughter last week and she needed a little help learning to use it. So here's her first recipe. :-)

Easy Slow Cooker Barbecue Pulled Chicken or Pork

Yield:   8 servings
Try some sliced red onions and some organic plain yogurt on top of this delicious main course.
 
You can cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Make a double batch so you have some for a quick meal any time!
Ingredients:
1 8-ounce jar organic tomato sauce
1 4-ounce can  organic chopped green chiles, drained - or 2 or 3 fresh organic chopped chiles
3 tablespoons  raw apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons raw unfiltered honey (avacado honey, if you can get it, has a very molasses flavor to it)
1 tablespoon  sweet or smoked organic paprika
1 tablespoon jarred organic tomato paste
1 tablespoon organic coconut aminos
2 teaspoons organic dry mustard
1 teaspoon  organic ground chipotle chile
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink sea salt
2 1/2 pounds free-range and organically raised chicken or pork
1  small organic onion, finely chopped
1 clove organic garlic, minced (more if desired, I would use 3 or 4)
Stir tomato sauce, paste, chiles, vinegar, honey, paprika, tomato paste, coconut aminos, mustard, ground chipotle and salt in a 6-quart slow cooker until smooth. Add meat, onion and garlic; stir to combine. Cook on low for 5 to 7 hours or until meat is tender and easy to pull apart with a fork. 

I took a standard barbecue recipe and altered it to fit my dietary specifications. It really is easy to change an unhealthy recipe into a healthy recipe and still eat deliciously!

Happy and Healthy living to all!
