Method

  1. 1

    Stir the passata, tomato purée, honey (optional), mustard, vinegar, paprika and garlic powder together with salt and pepper in the slow cooker.

  2. 2

    Add the onion and lay the chicken on top. Spoon the sauce over the chicken so everything is covered.

  3. 3

    Cook with the lid on for 4–5 hours on LOW or 2–3 hours on HIGH, until the chicken reaches 75 °C and pulls apart easily.

  4. 4

    Shred the chicken with two forks right in the pot and stir it through the sauce. Too runny? Leave the lid off and let it thicken on HIGH for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Warm the wraps briefly in a dry frying pan. Everyone fills their own with chicken, sweetcorn, cucumber and a spoonful of yoghurt (optional).
