Slow Cooker Sun Dried Tomato Chicken



By Coach Maria - Salus Nutritionist & Food Expert

This is a favorite go-to recipe for me when my day will be busy and I need to utilize my crockpot and some basic staples that I always have on hand.

It's so easy, it almost feels like you didn't really do anything at all.

The flavors from the slow cooked ingredients, though, are fantastic!

We enjoy this meal not only because of how good it tastes, but also because it can be served several different ways to satisfy different appetites without the need to become a short-order cook.

Serving options include:
  • As-is and topped over a warm bed of rice
  • Alongside roasted vegetables of choice
  • Shredded and dumped over a baked sweet potato
  • Shredded and eaten as a wrap, with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced olives
Try it - you'll love it!

Ingredients
serves 6

4 organic, free range chicken breasts
1 cup sun dried tomatoes in olive oil (Costco!), processed through blender until the consistency of pesto
1 cup water or organic chicken broth (*optional)

Place chicken in crockpot.
Top each chicken breast with 1/4 c sun dried tomato pesto
*pour water or chicken broth over chicken breasts (optional, not needed)
Cover with lid and cook for 4 hours on high.
