Crockpot Italian Chicken and Vegetables





This is one of those weeks. You know the ones. The week where you have something going on every night and the last thing you have time for is to come home and cook a full meal. So, once again, the slower cooker (crockpot) to the rescue. Ten minutes of prep time in the morning before leaving home, and you can arrive home to a wonderful, delicious dinner.

Non-stick spray
4 boneless / skinless chicken breasts
Tone's Tuscan Garlic Seasoning or dried Italian Seasoning
2 small onions, peeled and quartered
3 medium carrots, cut into 2 inch pieces
4 potatoes, peeled and chopped into large chunks
1 t. salt
a few grinds of black pepper
3 T. olive oil
2 T. red wine vinegar
1 whole head of garlic, cloves peeled and separated
1 14.5 oz. can of petite diced tomatoes, Italian seasoned

Turn crock pot on low and spray with non-stick spray. Place chicken breasts into crock pot and sprinkle with seasoning of your choice.

Layer onions, carrots and potatoes on top of chicken and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Drizzle olive oil and vinegar over chicken and vegetables.

Toss in garlic and pour in tomatoes with juice to cover the chicken and vegetables. 

Cover and cook on low 6 - 8 hours.

  1. I need to use my crock pot more. Just never seem to think about getting it loaded up before I leave in the mornings.

    Looks good.

  2. I really enjoy coming home to a fully cooked meal. The prep time takes a little getting used to, but it is SO worth it!
