Dinner is a cinch to make when you can just throw everything in the slow cooker and then go about your day. This one is loaded with healthy ingredients and bold flavors. Serve with your favorite rice, pasta or couscous.
2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 heaping T. curry powder
2 t. dried basil
2 t. dried thyme
1 t. kosher salt
1 t. black pepper
28 oz. can whole (or diced) tomatoes, drained and chopped
2- 14 oz. cans quartered artichoke hearts, drained
1 c. low-sodium chicken stock/broth
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 - 3/4 c. kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
1/4 c. white wine vinegar
1/4 c. fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Combine curry powder, basil, thyme, salt and pepper; stir well; season chicken with half of the seasoning mixture. Place chicken breasts in the crock of the slow cooker.
Add remaining ingredients to the slow cooker, except for the fresh parsley. Sprinkle on the remaining seasoning mixture. Cover; cook on Low for 6-8 hours or on High for 3-4 hours.
When finished, remove chicken to a cutting board; shred chicken using two forks. Transfer chicken back into the slow cooker mixture, allowing chicken to soak up the juices for 5-10 minutes or up to 30 minutes.
Serve with a slotted spoon over rice, couscous or pasta and garnished with fresh parsley.
