Delicious slow-cooker chicken and vegetable dish, perfect for a family dinner on a bed of fettuccine. Easy and flavorful twist on a classic Betty Crocker recipe. Try it for a hassle-free weeknight meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cut-up whole chicken (3 to 3 1/2 lb), skin removed
  • 1/3 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium green bell pepper
  • 2 medium onions
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 jar (4.5 oz) sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
  • Dredge the chicken in flour. Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until browned on all sides. Drain excess oil.
  • Halve the bell pepper and onions crosswise, then quarter each half.
  • In a 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker, layer half of the chicken pieces. Combine bell pepper, onions, and remaining ingredients (except cheese); spoon half of this mixture over the chicken. Add the rest of the chicken pieces and top with the remaining vegetable mixture.
  • Cover chicken and simmer on Low heat for 4 to 6 hours until chicken juices run clear when thickest piece is cut to the bone (170°F for breasts; 180°F for thighs and legs). Serve with cheese. Note: Recipe tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom—adjust as needed for models with only a heated base.
