So, this recipe doesn't really have an official name, because I kinda tweaked the original idea too much to still call it it's original name, so hence, "Chicken, Marsala & Tomatoes" was born. :) Let me be honest. Sometimes I wish my crock pot were more versatile (maybe even Jettson-like) and you know, would make salads and veggies (and Cocky Cookies) and stuff. If that were the case, I would use it multiple times a day!!! I mean honestly, how delightful is it to come home to a fragrant house, intoxicating smells wafting out the door THAT YOU DIDN'T SLAVE OVER!!!! It's really a beautiful thing. So, that being confessed- I love my crock pot, but I feel like I only have limited healthy recipes that all don't taste the same (mushy), so without further a-do, I am excited to welcome this newest recipe into the Haddon Crock Pot family. He's easy and tasty and a great change up to your typical crock pot meal.
Ingredients:
1 pound chicken (I used 1.3 lbs. for 4 people with no left overs)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp pepper
4 TBSP tomato paste
1 cup Marsala wine
1 can diced tomatoes
1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
1/2 onion, sliced thin
handful of basil leaves, chopped
cibata rolls, toasted
** 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes if you want a kick to it
Directions:
OK, so I made this meal prepared the day before, I thought: 1) It may be better because it marinate in the wine and tomatoes at night 2) one less thing to do tomorrow! Then I washed the chicken breasts, and paid in wine and tomatoes and tomato sauce on top. Add my seasoning and put it in the fridge with the lid. The next morning, I turned on low for 8 hours and let the thing. However, it is very important that the time has come right, but about two hours before the finish (an hours work would probably be too), I my chicken strips, peppers and onions I sliced and put it in, what which gives a good mix. (If you put your peppers and onion puree that very soon) Then, when dinner time rolled around, I put my toasted and chopped basil. Scoop cheese mixture on top of the roll, add the chopped basil and la-wah! There!
