\"Persian<\/p>\n

Hi friends!<\/p>\n

You all have been asking for more slow cooker recipes and I aim to please! As\u00a0you now know, things have been a little busy around here lately…so a few weeks ago I reached out to a few blog friends to see if anyone had any delicious crockpot recipes they wanted to share with you guys.<\/p>\n

My friend Lauren, a fellow RD mama and blogger over at Bite of Health Nutrition<\/a> offered to share this super simple recipe for Persian Pulled Chicken. She’s a huge fan of slow cooker recipes because as we mamas know, meals that require minimal effort to cook are lifesavers when you have a toddler you need to keep up with! If you’re not familiar with Lauren’s blog, you’re definitely going to want to go check it out! She has tons of great recipes like these Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Overnight Oats<\/a>, these Vegetable\u00a0and Cheese Sheet Pan Eggs<\/a>, and these Blender Peanut Butter Banana Oat Bars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s a note from Lauren about the recipe:<\/p>\n

The inspiration for my Slow Cooker Persian Pulled Chicken recipe comes from a couple different dishes that my husband and his family make. If you have ever had the pleasure of eating authentic Persian food you know how good it is. And if you haven\u2019t I highly suggest it! Their dishes are full of flavor and packed with nourishing ingredients. This specific dish uses some Persian staple ingredients including onion, turmeric, curry powder, and tomato paste. The original dish is more of a stew but this recipe turns out to be less saucy and goes well served alongside basmati rice or in a pita with plain yogurt and Salad Shirazi (a Persian cucumber and tomato salad).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

After Lauren sent me the recipe, I knew I wanted to check it out for myself. I decided to try it in the instant pot so I could share both sets of directions for you depending on your preference.<\/p>\n

So here’s the recipe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\n<\/symbol>\n<\/defs>\n<\/svg>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>
