Ingredients

• Chicken breasts: you can use frozen or thawed chicken breasts.
• Chicken broth: I like to use low sodium chicken broth, but you can also just use water.
• Almond milk: get unsweetened, plain almond milk.
• Tofu: tofu is a great source of protein and helps with the sauce consistency in this recipe. If you want to avoid GMOs, you’ll want to look for organic soy tofu. You can learn more about soy products here.
• Garlic: fresh minced garlic is what I use for this recipe.
• Dill
• Parsley
• Onion powder
• Pepper
• Turkey bacon: cooked.

Instant Pot Crack Chicken Directions

1. Add chicken and chicken broth to the Instant Pot.
2. Close the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing.
3. Cook the chicken on high pressure using the “manual” or “pressure cook” setting.
4. Set the cook time for 15 minutes.
5. While the chicken is cooking, place the almond milk, tofu, minced garlic, dill, parsley, onion powder & pepper in a blender and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Set aside.
6. Let the pressure release naturally. Once the pressure valve drops you can open the lid.
7. Drain and shred the chicken, then add it back to the pressure cooker.
8. Pour the sauce from the blender on top of the shredded chicken.
9. Turn the Instant Pot to sauté mode and stir until the sauce is warm.
10. Serve this in a lettuce wrap and top with turkey bacon.

Slow Cooker Crack Chicken Directions

1. Add chicken and chicken broth to your slow cooker and cover with the lid.
2. Cook the chicken on high heat for 4-5 hours or on low heat for 6-8 hours.
3. Drain and shred the chicken, then add the shredded chicken back to your slow cooker.
4. Mix almond milk, tofu, minced garlic, dill, parsley, onion powder & pepper in a blender and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
5. Pour the sauce on top of your shredded chicken. Stir until the sauce has covered the chicken and is warm.
6. Serve in a lettuce wrap and top with turkey bacon.

Stove Top Crack Chicken Directions

1. Boil the chicken on medium high heat for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
2. Turn off the stove. Drain and shred the chicken, then place it back into your pot.
3. Mix almond milk, tofu, minced garlic, dill, parsley, onion powder & pepper in a blender and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
4. Pour the sauce over the shredded chicken.
5. Turn the stove to medium heat and stir until the sauce is warm and has covered all of the chicken.
6. Serve in a lettuce wrap and top with turkey bacon.

Recipe Tips

• You can also incorporate the turkey bacon by dicing it, then adding it to the shredded chicken after the sauce has been mixed in.
• This is a great protein-packed recipe for meal prep that you can use as sandwich filling, salad topper or as a stand alone with fruit and veggies on the side.
• Shredding chicken in a stand mixer is so quick and easy!
• You can use pork bacon if you’d like, but don’t forget to adjust your WW SmartPoints or 21 Day Fix counts if you follow those plans.
