Foodie Friday-Crockpot Italian Chicken Recipe... and a Shirley J Giveaway!!!

Giveaway is listed at bottom of post...

By now everyone probably knows that my CrockPot is totally my "not so secret" boyfriend... so my next recipe would of course feature it.

Italian Chicken is  probably one of my favorite CrockPot recipes.  It's easy, delicious, and relatively healthy.

Ingredients:

4-5 boneless skinless chicken thighs
(tip-can use frozen or 3 boneless chicken breasts in it's place)
1 large can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
2 cups of sliced mushrooms
1 can of artichoke hearts (quartered)
1 can of olives (sliced)
1/4 cup of chicken broth
1 large onion (diced)
3-4 cloves of garlic (minced)
2 1/2 teaspoons of dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
3 tablespoons of heavy cream (optional)


This is where it gets really difficult... LOL  Add everything to the CrockPot and mix.  Cook on low for about 9 hours or high for 5 hours.

After cooking, remove chicken (only) from CrockPot

Shred said chicken.  (side note-I may or may not have done that for the rhyme)

Add chicken back to CrockPot and stir (this is where you would also add the cream if you choose)


Serve over your favorite pasta with a bright veggie side dish. 
Enjoy!!!
