I wanted to make something that was quick and easy and would provide some dinners I could heat up easily after work. I was in the mood for some Italian, and I had some pesto in my fridge. Voila, Italian chicken!
Ingredients
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
Half of a 25.5 oz jar of pasta sauce (I like to use a brand that is low sodium)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons pesto (I used some store bought pesto I had, but if you like to make your own, go for it!)
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Preparation
Then lay the chicken breasts on top of the mixture, cover, and cook on high for four hours.
Remove the chicken breasts, shred them, and return them to the crock pot.
And there you have it! Yummy Italian chicken in 4 hours. You could add parmesan cheese, mozzarella, or dairy free cheese on top. I ate my chicken with some steamed broccoli. I think it would also be great over some spaghetti squash or some gluten free pasta.
