Slow Cooker Chicken With Vegetables

Written By: Chris - Mar• 20•15

When I know I’ve got a full day and still want a healthier option for dinner that will be quick and easy, but still taste good, I reach for the slow cooker sms message.  Chicken is a good option as it always turns out moist and delicious prepared this way.  I prefer white meat and Bill likes the dark.  Either meat can be healthy because each contains essential vitamins and minerals whatsapp herunterladen schweiz.  I usually have chicken breasts on hand in the freezer and had picked up a bulk pack of  boneless, skinless thighs that were on sale for a ridiculously low price vcds for free.  The kids had been scheduled to come for dinner, but things didn’t work out that night, so I had a lot of meat thawed out and it was the crock pot to the rescue instagram ohne google konto herunterladen!

All you need is about 20 minutes to get this dish started and placed in the slow cooker and then all you have to do is plug it in and come home to a hearty chicken and vegetable dinner waiting for you when you get home computer idee youtube downloaden.  A lot of times I will do the prep work the night before and place the whole crock pot bowl in the fridge until the morning.

Scoop into bowls and serve with fresh tomatoes.  I like their acidity and they add a bright freshness with the herbs.  We enjoyed this meal with wonderful Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon out Napa Valley by Gamble Family Vineyards!  So good!

Enjoy!
Cheers!
