The other day my sister and I were brainstorming about what to cook for the week. We had some frozen chicken breasts and originally planned to throw them into the crock pot with chicken stock, a little white wine, and some shredded zucchini. But I then got the idea to use crushed tomatoes. We didn’t want to buy them in a can so we bought fresh tomatoes along with a few other veggies and experimented with our own version of Chicken Cacciatore. Turned out pretty good! Next time I’ll add a little chicken stock & basil
[addendum: since the original writing of this post, I made the dish again... this time I added fresh basil, a chopped onion, as well as some frozen ground beef patties. I omitted the olive oil but added some low-sodium chicken stock. Still delicious!]
Ingredients:
- 4 frozen chicken breasts
- 2 pkg. Campari tomatoes on the vine, crushed up by hand
- 1 & 1/2 bell peppers, chopped
- handful of mushrooms, chopped
- liberal amount of finely chopped fresh Cilantro
- 3 cloves of garlic, whole
- 5 caps full olive oil [yes I used the cap to the olive oil bottle as my means of measurement]
- liberal amount of Italian Spices, Garlic Pepper, Black Pepper
- 1 tsp sea salt
We set the crock pot on Low for 10hrs and cooked it overnight. I’ve been shredding the chicken and putting into a bowl with a big helping of the sauce and heating it in the microwave. Delicious on these cold nights!
