Barbecue Chicken and Apple Slaw

Barbecue Ingredients:
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, each cut in half (approx. 1 lb)
2 large organic apples, peeled and diced
1 vidalia onion, diced
4 slices bacon or turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
1 cup BBQ sauce (I recommend Bone Suckin' Sauce. It is sugar free and all of the ingredients are healthy) or use your favorite sauce

Directions:
1. Put the chicken, apples, onion, bacon and BBQ sauce in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
2. While the chicken is cooking, make the slaw OR make the slaw a day ahead of time (I think it is better if it sits in the fridge for a while before serving.)
2. After the chicken is cooked through, shred with 2 forks and stir the crockpot mixture together well. 


Slaw Dressing Ingredients:
6 T non-dairy yogurt (unflavored and unsweetened) or you can use full fat coconut milk or you could use a healthy mayo, like avocado oil mayo
4 T apple cider vinegar
1T + 1t dijon mustard
1T + 1t pure maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste

Remaining Slaw Ingredients:
2 apples, cut into thin strips
2 cups cabbage, finely shredded
1 carrot, shredded

2 green onions, diced

Directions:
Combine dressing ingredients in a shaker or bowl and mix well. Pour over top of remaining slaw ingredients in a large bowl and toss well. Refrigerate until ready to use. Serve on top of barbecue.

This is a favorite among my nutrition clients. I saw the original recipe at closetcooking.com, but altered it and listed different alternatives for some of the ingredients. Enjoy!
