Crockpot Country Chicken

Doesn't this sound yummy!!! This is a simple one-pot chicken and vegetable meal that takes minutes to prepare, and can be left cooking away for hours while you're at work or running all-day errands.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound small white potatoes, halved
• 8 ounces baby carrots (half a 16-ounce bag)
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 large ribs celery, sliced
• 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
• 1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
• 2 tsp dried mixed herbs
• 1 14.5 ounce can crushed tomatoes
• 1/2 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth

PREPARATION:

Coat the inside of a 4-5 quart crockpot with nonstick cooking spray. Place vegetables in base of crockpot. Sprinkle with dried herbs. Add chicken pieces, then finish with canned tomatoes and broth. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked.

If you want to thicken the juices, make a cornstarch slurry of 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to 1/4 cup of broth or water and stir in half an hour before the end.

Serves 6.
