This is a very easy and versatile dish. You can add
shrimp or scallops or just use chicken. I like to serve it with barley,
but it’s great with rice or pasta also. And it smells really good while
it cooks!
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken, white or dark, cut in chunks
- non-stick cooking spray
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup parsley, minced
- 1/2 cup white wine - use the good stuff :-)
- 1 28 oz can whole tomatoes – drained and cut up
- 1 tsp. dried leaf basil
- 1 pound uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined - use Wild Alaskan Company spot prawns to really elevate the dish! :-)
- Salt to taste
Preparation:
Cut chicken into cubes or strips. Lightly brown in frying pan with olive oil.
Generously spray slow cooker with cooking spray. Place chicken in slow cooker. Sautee onion, garlic and parsley in same skillet for about 1 minute. Stir remaining ingredients, except shrimp, into skillet and then pour over chicken.
Cook on LOW 3 1/2 hours. Add shrimp and cook an additional 30 minutes on LOW. Be sure shrimp is cooked through before turning off slow cooker. Serve with pearl barley, whole grain wild rice or pasta.
Blessed be... and happy cooking!
