How to Make Tuscan Chicken in a Crockpot

First Impressions:

Chicken in fact flaked off with each fork bite. The tomatoes added a good flavor, the juices kept the chicken moist. It was Hot (not spicy) but cooked thru. I paired this with a Schild Estate Barbossa 2008 Shiraz. Sorry but I am a red wine fan. I'm still savoring the experience. Yes folks, it was that good.

If you don't have a slow cooker or a Crock Pot or a setting on your oven... Get one. They aren't that costly and I've come to find that having dinner ready is one less meal to get ready and it's extremely.. Let me say extremely nice to have a moist, tender, fully cooked chicken breast Flake off with eat bite. Not to mention it packs a serious bodybuilding dosage of muscle construction goodness.

Tuscan Chicken:

Makes 4 Servings

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4oz each)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1/4 cup chopped onion

• 1/2 red bell pepper, cut into strips

• 1/2 green bell pepper, cut into strips

• 1/2 can (8oz or 220g) black beans, drained

• 1 tomato, diced

• 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 clove garlic, crushed

• Salt and pepper

Notes: I used a Leek as I dislike onions. Even for those who do not like the taste or the belief of onions, using a Leek worked out perfectly. I used 2 organic Roma tomatoes, diced. While a friend suggested using diced tomatoes from the can, that would growth the sodium. I loved the taste of fresh, organic Roma tomatoes. 2 of them filled the crock pot nicely. 3 would have been possible. Do not use a Beefsteak tomato. Not adequate authentic flavor. I trimmed All the fat off the chicken breasts.

Directions:

1. Put the onion, peppers, and beans in a slow cooker.

2. Place the chicken on top of the vegetables and beans.

3. In a bowl, stir together the olive oil, tomatoes, broth, vinegar, oregano, garlic, a bit of salt and pepper.

4. Pour the aggregate over the chicken.

5. Cover the slow cooker, set it to low.

6. Let it cook for 6 to 7 hours.

Quick Tip:

6.5 hours worked 100%. Any longer and it might be dry. Any shorter and it wouldn't have been so flaky.
