Tonight we had one of my favorite meals... Slow Cooker Chicken with Olives. Ryan puts it all together in the morning and when I get home from work it is like a small slice of heaven. It is so good with jasmine rice (I used the microwavable Trader Joe's kind) and roasted asparagus. For those looking to spice up their weeknight dinners, give this a try.
Slow Cooker Chicken with Olives
Makes 2 - 4 servings
2 - 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 T oregano
2 bay leaves
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 T capers (you can omit if you don't like capers... I LOVE them)
1/3 cup olives (green or black)
1/3 cup brown sugar
Place chicken in slow cooker. Mix together remaining ingredients and pour over top of chicken. Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours. Good served over rice.
And the leftovers are even better the next day! Let me know if you try it...
