Ingredients

1 medium onion, finely chopped2 tablespoons no salt added chicken broth1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic3 tablespoons no salt added chili powder2 teaspoons ground cumin2 teaspoon Splenda (granulated)2 (8 oz) cans no salt added tomato sauce1 cup water1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Directions

Combine onion and broth in large saucepan or a French oven. Sweat onion over medium heat until soft and beginning to turn golden (8-10 minutes.) Stir in the garlic, chili powder, cumin, and Splenda and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato sauce and water, bring to a simmer, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Nestle the chicken into the sauce so it is completely covered. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the thickest part has reached 160 degrees (12-20 minutes depending on size of chicken breasts)
Transfer the chicken to a plate and allow to cool. nce the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred into bite-size pieces. Return to French oven with sauce and warm through.
Serve over rice. Consult Provida.com for serving sizes. I eat approximately 2 oz of chicken, and the sauce is 'free'.

Nice flavor - 4/28/21

Very good. Chicken was very tender & the sauce was nice over rice. The recipe yields quite a bit of sauce too, which is nice. This was not spicy but I like spicy so you could add a bit of red pepper to spice it up for those who like a little hot. - 1/12/09

Yes Denise, I usually add jalapenos and cayenne pepper. Sometimes I will leave off the rice and just eat it like a spicy hot soup!

Myra, can you add something about the serving size on this? I think I can figure it out but the next POPper that comes along may be less experienced in portion size. ~PW - 1/9/09

Refer to Provida.com for your serving size. My serving size for my body type is 2 oz of meat, and unlimited sauce! Yay!
