ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon diamond crystal kosher salt (1/2 if using Morton)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 2 chopped green onions
- 1 cubed honey crisp apple
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup or more to taste mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup roasted salted pistachos (removed from shell)
Method
Step 1
Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker (crockpot)
Step 2
Season with salt, pepper, thyme, garlic powder, smoked paprika.
Step 3
Place one teaspoon of dijon mustard on each chicken breast.
Step 4
Pour white wine around chicken. Place lid on crockpot, and cook on high for 1.5-2 hours. Or on low for 4 hours. (until chicken reaches 165 degrees)
Step 5
Use hand mixer or two forks to shred chicken in crockpot. (This gives it so much flavor because it absorbs all of the white wine it cooked in!)
Step 6
Add tarragon, dried cranberries, raisins, green onion, garlic, apples, mayo and pistachios.
Step 7
Use hand mixer on low to combine all ingredients well. Add more mayo if needed, adjust salt and pepper to taste.
