Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Breasts

Slow Cooker Italian Chicken

The whole family enjoyed this dish. I served the chicken with half brown rice and half white rice (cooked in separate pots) and then combined the rice in the individual serving bowls. The dish was very simple and easy to prepare in the morning. Go ahead and prepare the rice, but wait to cook it until right before you serve it. I measure the water and rice and then leave it on the stove, so the only thing I have to do is turn on the burner.

• 1 package boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3-4 breasts)
• 1/3 cup Italian Dressing
• Pepper
• 2 Pinches crushed red pepper flakes
• ½ tsp Garlic powder
• Paprika
• Thyme
• Rosemary
• Sage

Rinse chicken breasts and place into slow cooker or Crock-Pot. Pour in Italian dressing. Sprinkle the tops of the chicken with the remaining spices. No need to measure, just take a pinch or two and sprinkle evenly. Place one pinch of crushed red pepper flakes in the liquid and one pinch on top of the chicken. No need to stir. Cover with lid and let cook on low for 6 hours. Serve with brown or white rice. Drizzle chicken and rice with the sauce.
*Make a rice bowl by layering rice, chicken and steamed vegetables (stir fry veggies work well).
