Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 28 ounces Diced tomatoes (no salt added)
• 6 ounces Tomato paste
• 1 piece Green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 piece Onion, chopped
• 2 stalks Celery stalks, chopped
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt (optional)
• 0.5 cups Chicken broth (low-sodium)
• 2 cups Cooked brown rice or quinoa, for serving (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Spray the inside of your crock pot with a nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chopped green bell pepper, onion, celery, minced garlic, and all the spices (paprika, cayenne, thyme, basil, black pepper, and salt, if using). Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Pour the vegetable and spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the crock pot.

Step 5

Add the low-sodium chicken broth into the crock pot and gently stir to ensure the liquid is evenly distributed.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F).

Step 7

Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces directly in the pot or leave the breasts whole, as desired.

Step 8

Serve the chicken creole over cooked brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal, if desired.
