I’ve been trying out some recipes with the staff here at the birth house and yesterday’s lunch was a keeper!
PULLED CHICKEN IN THE CROCKPOT
SERVED 6
2 Large chicken breast
2 Tbs coconut oil
5 yellow squash chopped
1 big red onion chopped
1 small bag of baby carrots (3 chopped lg carrots)
3 packets of Sazón seasoning
A wee bit of sea salt
In a fry pan melt 2 Tbs of coconut oil on med/high heat. When hot add the chicken breasts and cover with lid for 3 minutes. Turn and cover for 3 more minutes and place in crockpot, keeping the oil in the pan.
Toss the onions in the pan and give a stir for 2 minutes or so, add to crockpot, go on, pour that coconut oil in there, Mmmmm!
Place the squash and carrots in.
Add the 3 packets of Sazón, a dash of sea salt and add hot water just to where it is barely covering.
Put the crockpot on high for 2 hours. Stirring occasionally. At the two hour mark take two forks and pull the chicken apart as much as possible. Continue cooking another hour and pull the chicken apart some more, stir well. At the 3 1/2 hour mark, it’s done…. ENJOY!
**You can slow cook this while at work. Put crockpot on low. When you get home your house will smell AMAZING! Pull the chicken apart with 2 forks and cook an additional half hour, then serve.
Simple, easy and yummy!
Ciao!

I don’t know Suzan seasoning either- what could I use instead? Thanks, sue
Sent you an Emil, Sue 🙂
Wait, you cook squash for two + hours? What are the seasoning packets, and if you don’t have, what are the basic flavorings? – Kaye
The squash held up quite well!
Heres what I found on the ingredients for Sazón. The sazon seasoning is pretty unique in flavor and the foil packets do wonders to your dishes. One packet contains mono sodium glutamate, salt, garlic, and coriander and color boosters. this seasoning is also very much used in Puerto Rico where it has as ingredients dried cilantro, paprika, saffron, garlic powder, ground cumin and salt.

That looks so good! We really need to get back into cooking!
I miss your posts! I get so much inspiration from your recipes! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Looks delicious. The seasoning…since I cannot handle MSG, can you recommend a substitute?
I try to limit my MSG, as well. But every once in awhile 🙂
