Chicken cacciatorre~ Slow Cooker

Since the holiday season is here, you will needs lots of easy and healthy recipes to get you and your families fed during this time.
Chicken Cacciatorre {Hunter's Chicken}
Rustic, yet not difficult or too rich.
Ingredients:
3-4 lbs. boneless breasts and/or thighs

1 large onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon each basil and oregano
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 bay leaves
1 large can of crushed tomatoes OR diced...whatever your preference
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups red wine
Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling before serving

Place sliced onions on bottom of crock pot. Add chicken.

Stir together remaining ingredients and pour over chicken.

Cook on low 7-9 hours or high 3-4 hours. Serve over pasta, with a salad on the side.

*I used bone in one time--TOO many small bones--because it all fell apart, there were so many tiny bones I would just be on the safe side and do boneless thighs/breasts*

Delicious taste, you don't even need pasta, 

but if you married an Italian, he'll probably want spaghetti!

Crockpot Chicken Artichoke & Sun-dried Tomatoes

It doesn't look pretty, but it was easy and tasted delicious!

Crock pot Chicken Artichoke & Sun-dried Tomatoes

• 4 frozen organic chicken breasts
• 3 small jars of artichokes (or more/less according to preference)
• 1 package of sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 can cream of chicken condensed soup
• 1/4 cup of dry white wine
• 1/2 cup of chicken broth
• 2 chopped garlic cloves
• Cream cheese (or the Philly Italian Seasoned spread)

Place chicken in crock pot and cover it with the remaining ingredients EXCEPT for cream cheese--stir that in the end.  You could add mushrooms or black olives, I just didn't have any.

Put crock pot on low & cook for 6-8 hrs. Chicken will literally fall apart. 

We liked that it wasn't soupy but it was really tender and moist.

You could serve over rice or noodles.

I served it with leftover mushroom risotto from the night before {Giada's Risotto}  & a salad.
