Ingredients

Crispy Slow Cooker Pineapple Chipotle Chicken

  • 2 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 8 oz can Crushed Pineapple in juice
  • 7 oz can Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce use 1/2 can for spice sensitive
  • 5-6 cloves 25g Peeled Garlic
  • 1 Tbsp 16g Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp 15g Juice of Medium Lime
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin

Tostadas

  • 6 Extra Thin Corn Tortillas I used Mission
  • 1/2 C 56g Cotija Cheese, crumbled
  • 6 Tbsp Mango Salsa I used Sam's Club
  • 2 100- Calorie Guacamole Packs
  • 1-2 pinches Chopped Cilantro optional

Instructions

Crispy Slow Cooker Pineapple Chipotle Chicken

  • Add all the chicken ingredients (except the chicken breasts) to a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.
  • Add the chicken breasts and sauce to a crockpot and cook on low for 2.5-3 hours on low or until the chicken reaches 165F and/or juices run clear.
  • Remove the chicken to shred with two forks before tossing in the sauce. (You can do this in the crockpot but be careful to not burn yourself.)
  • Add the chicken to a large baking sheet and set your oven to a high broil.
  • Place the baking sheet on the top oven rack and broil for 4-6 minutes or until the chicken has crisp edges.

Chicken Tostadas

  • Preheat the oven to 400F and place your oven rack back in a center setting.
  • Place 6 tortillas directly on the oven rack or on a wire rack and toast until crispy, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Top each toasted tortilla with 3 ounces of chicken, guacamole, salsa, cheese, cilantro, and any other desired toppings.

Notes

  • Each tostada has 5 Smart Points.
  • The entire chicken recipe makes 16 3-ounce servings. A 3-ounce serving of the chicken on its own has 90 calories, 14 grams of protein, 4 grams of carbs, 2 grams of fat, and 1 Smart Point. 
  • You'll need 18 ounces of chicken for 6 tostadas. So, you can make up to 18 tostadas with the chicken recipe or use it in other recipes. Ideas include using it as a filling for my air fried taquitos or baked chicken empanadas, or you could throw it on top of my healthier chilaquiles rojas with a fried egg.
