Easy Pulled Chicken in Red Sauce

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts or four smaller ones

  (1 pound)
• 1 jar of your favorite red sauce

  I prefer tomato basil, any quality sauce will work nicely though.
• 1 cup of organic flavorful tomatoes
• 4-8 fresh basil leaves
• 2-4 fresh garlic cloves
• Himalayan salt or sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• 1 Using the lowest setting on your stove (or slow cooker), pour the tomato sauce
  in and start to heat.
• 2 Trim the chicken breasts and add into the sauce.
• 3 Wash and chop the tomatoes, basil and garlic cloves, then add to the pot.
• 4 Using flavorful, organic tomatoes really makes this simple dish taste
  incredible.
• 5 Cover and simmer for 3- 6 hours (final amount of time will depend on the size of
  the chicken pieces and the actual cooking temperature). Stir occasionally and
  scrape down the sides.
• 6 When the chicken is fall apart tender, use two forks to pull apart and shred or
  put the chicken in your stand mixer and carefully turn it on low. Using the
  whisk attachment in the mixer will very quickly shred the chicken perfectly and
  with almost no effort.
• 7 Return the chicken into the sauce. Turn off the heat and let rest for about 15
  minutes before serving. This is spectacular over pasta, in sandwiches, on pizza…
  This also freezes incredibly well.
• 8 Don’t you want to just dig a fork into that? No worries. This pulled chicken
  with red sauce is so simple to make for yourself. Turn on the stove top, pour
  yourself a glass of wine and enjoy!
