Named for an HG staffer's mother-in-law (whose recipe we adapted), this home-style chicken is out of this world! Stewed tomatoes and balsamic vinegar are soooo good together...
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 3 - 4 hours or 7 - 8 hours, plus 5 minutes
Ingredients:
Two 14.5-oz. cans stewed tomatoes (not drained)
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 1/4 lb. raw boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups green beans, trimmed
6 cups roughly chopped spinach leaves
Seasonings: garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper
Directions:
In a slow cooker, combine tomatoes, vinegar, 2 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. oregano, and 1 tsp. basil. Mix until uniform.
Season chicken with 1/4 tsp. each salt and black pepper, and add to the slow cooker.
Add green beans, and mix well.
Cover and cook on high for 3 - 4 hours or on low for 7 - 8 hours, until chicken is cooked through and green beans are tender.
Turn off slow cooker, and transfer chicken to a cutting board. Roughly chop, and return to the slow cooker.
Stir in spinach, re-cover, and let sit for 5 minutes, or until spinach has wilted.
