I have a new love in my life. This lover makes my life easier. Feeds me when I’m hungry. Is super low maintenance. Meet my Crock-Pot. I’m so in love. I didn’t grow up in a Crock-Pot home, so this form of cooking is all new to me. I was given a Crock-Pot at my wedding shower. Little did I know when I pulled this foreign object out of the box that it would enrich my family’s life. A whole new cooking world opened to me.
Recently my friend Ann Yoo gave me a fun cookbook called Hungry Girl. Inside is a fabulous recipe for shredded BBQ chicken. I had no idea making shredded chicken was so easy. For weeks I had a batch in the fridge ready to go at all times, because Bubba said it was the best thing I had ever made. One day I ran out of the ingredients, and so I got creative. What I came up with, I looooove. I call it Mediterranean Chicken a la Crock-Pot:
Ингредиенты
- Half a jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
- 2 chicken breasts (frozen is okay)
- 1/2 large onion
- 2 tbs brown sugar
- 1/2 cup capers
- 1 1/2 cups kalamata olives
- 1 tbs minced garlic
- 1 1/2 cups chopped artichoke hearts
- 1/2 cup chopped sundried tomatoes
- 1 cup fresh chopped tomato
- 5/8 tsp red pepper flakes. If you like spice, add extraâand shake it baby, shake it!
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Инструкции
- Throw in half a jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce. (I like Classico Traditional Sweet Basil.)
- Then I toss in all my fridge staples from Costco. I donât measure anything. Just toss in what looks like a good amount to your eye. If you like to measure, there are some approximate quantities above.
- Throw it in the pot on high at lunch and it will be ready to shred and serve for dinner. Or put it on low in the morning, and it should be ready by dinnertime.
- I have served this up many ways. Here are a few for you to enjoy. For the carb fraidy cats, you can serve it over quinoa, with big lettuce leaves, or just plain. For the carb lovers like me, over pasta or open-faced on toasted French bread. My personal favorite is served like this: put it in an English muffin, add cheese, and put it on the panini makerâand hello, Sloppy Joe!
