Courtney's Quinoa Chicken Slow Cooker goodness
Monday, February 08, 2010
Well, Andrew says it's good.
Basically, it was a hodge podge of things that I had in the fridge/freezer that I could turn into a fair quantity of food that could be consumed cold if we lost power for any amount of time.
So, far from fancy, but actually quite yummy.
3 (I used frozen...straight from the freezer to the crockpot) chicken breasts
1 bag of frozen artichoke hearts
1 bag of random frozen veggies
1 can of crushed tomatoes
1 jar of tomato/basil marinara sauce
1 chopped up onion
A bunch of garlic
Some random spices (I think I used Thyme and Basil?)
1 can of cannelini beans
I cooked all of that on low for 6 hours, (high for 3-4 would probably do the trick, too)
I used about 1/2 cup of (rinsed) quinoa, and threw it in there about 45-60 minutes before we were ready to eat.
Without the quinoa, it was definitely soup-y, and next time, I'd probably add some chicken broth in there at the same time as the quinoa to make it a little less hearty, and a little more soup-y.
Anyhow, random. Far from a recipe, but hit the spot after an afternoon of shoveling!
