Does anyone in this family even know what a chicken tastes like?
Long time no see, folks! Much like Arrested Development, I have returned. Since the last time this blog existed, I graduated law school, passed the bar exam, and made money. So has the crockpot been used since the last time I posted on here? Yeah, a few times, but it's seen better days.
Some melting may have occurred. Long story. ANYHOO, because Arrested Development came back today, I decided to fix up a super easy chicken dish so I could use as many chicken dance gifs as possible.
That's better. On with the show!
Mediterranean Chicken
Ingredients:
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
1 8 or 9 oz package of frozen artichoke hearts
1 cup of chicken broth
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup sliced olives or 1/4 cup of capers, drained
1/2 cup dry white whine or chicken broth (I used chicken broth, because I'm cheap like that)
3 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
2-3 teaspoons curry powder
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1.5 lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon herbs de provence
Some quinoa because why not
The Process:
Dump the mushrooms, undrained tomatoes, frozen artichoke hearts, chicken broth, onion, olives or capers and wine/broth into the crockpot and stir it around.
And then toss in the tapioca, curry powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. STIR, DAMN YOU.
Finally, throw in the chicken and spoon some of the veggie mixture over them.
Cover it up and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or high for 3.5-4 hours. Go have a productive day! Or do what I did and watch Star Trek movies/Arrested Development episodes. One day you too can be as cool as I am.
Anyway, let's check back on the food!
Oh my, yes. Heat up some quinoa to serve with the chicken aaaaand
The Verdict:
Let's go to noted food critic James Cromwell. James, what do you think?
Agreed. The curry powder and herbs de provence really added a distinctive and delicious flavor, and you guys, there's so many leftovers. Pair with a cop movie because why not.
