• Avocado oil spray
• Meat Chopper
CROCKPOT 1: HOT HONEY KICKIN’ CHICKEN
Ingredients:
• 3.5 lbs chicken breast (Perdue Harvestland free-range) ≈ 5 large breasts
• 1 can (6 oz) organic tomato paste (Great Value Organic)
• Hot Honey Chipotle Sauce (PACE)
• 5 tbsp soy sauce
• 6 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 4 oz diced onions OR 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
• 4 tbsp of chive & onion cream cheese
Instructions:
1. Prep the Slow Cooker: Spray your crockpot with avocado oil spray to prevent sticking.
2. Add the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the bottom of the slow cooker.
3. Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together: Tomato paste, Half of the Hot Honey Chipotle sauce, Soy sauce, Minced garlic, and Rice vinegar. Pour this mixture evenly over the chicken.
4. Add Onions: Sprinkle the 4 oz OR (1 small) diced yellow onion over the top.
5. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 5.5 hours.
6. Shred + Add Remaining Sauce: After 5.5 hours, shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using a meat chopper. Stir well to let it soak into the juices. Add the remaining Hot Honey Chipotle sauce and stir again.
7. Make It Creamy: Add 4 tablespoons chive & onion cream cheese. Stir until everything melts and combines into a creamy, smoky sauce.
8. Final Simmer: Cover and cook for the remaining 30 minutes to let everything marry together.

4. Season it up: Sprinkle the entire packet of Bettergoods Carnitas Seasoning evenly over the mixture.

THE FINAL BAKE

3. Add the Chicken: Spoon shredded Hot Honey Kickin’ Chicken over the Cowboy Carnitas Potatoes.
4. Optional: Add Cheese Sprinkle generously with triple cheddar (or your cheese of choice).
