As I mentioned last week, I explored The Real Food Dietitians blog some more and found another delicious crock pot recipe to try out. The original recipe calls for making sloppy joe sliders, but since I aim to get about 4 oz of meat and 6-7 oz of sweet potato in each meal, there was no way I was pulling off cute little sliders. This meal was really yummy though! There was plenty of leftover sauce in the crock pot that you can pour back over the pulled chicken to your liking. Next time I will probably make a slaw to also pair with this or just add more toppings to the sloppy joes. Overall, this was an awesome crock pot recipe with little prep time that you should definitely throw into the meal prep rotation!

Slow Cooker Chicken Sloppy Joe Sliders 
Ingredients:
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 14 oz. can organic tomato sauce
  • ¼ cup canned organic tomato paste
  • 3 Tbsp. yellow mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 3 dates, finely chopped
  • ¾ cup shredded carrots
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. chili powder
  • ¼ tsp. sea salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • 2 small sweet potatoes, sliced into ¼-inch rounds (I used 4-5 sweet potatoes)
  • Avocado oil (such as Primal Kitchen brand) or olive oil
  • Option toppings: pickles, onion, greens, broccoli slaw, etc.
Directions:
  1. Place all of the ingredients in the slow cooker. Mix to combine.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
  3. Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred with two forks.
  4. Return back to slow cooker, stir to mix all ingredients, and set temperature to warm (or low) until ready to eat.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, preheat oven (or grill) to 375ºF. Brush sweet potato rounds with oil and a dash with sea salt. Bake for 15 minute or just until soft. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
  6. Place chicken between two sweet potato rounds. Add desired toppings such as pickles, onion, greens, broccoli slaw, mayonnaise, etc.
