Ever have weeks where you just think I’m so over grocery shopping?!
I have those moments every single time grocery shopping day comes along. I really hate grocery shopping! It is just one of those weekly task that I know I always have to do though because apparently my family has to eat!
Well, this past week I decided to make it easy on myself and ‘shop’ in my freezer and pantry!
Our freezer is packed full of garden fresh produce plus we had some meat just waiting to be used, like a split chicken fryer.
I had tomatoes, bell peppers, lots of seasonings, and a chicken fryer!
Did I mention I also didn’t feel like cooking that day?
So what’s a girl to do?
Oh Slow Cooker…how I do love you!
I decided to slice up some of the tomatoes and peppers then toss in some garlic, olive oil, basil, rosemary, and a little oregano to make a delicious pantry style Slow Cooker Tomato Basil Chicken.
Enjoy!

Comments & Reviews
Will it be less time if my chicken is whole, and not split?
I’ve always done a split fryer, so I’m not entirely sure, but I think it should be close to the same. If you are home, you may want to check it after 6 hours just to be sure it doesn’t over cook but it should still be close in cook time.
