Dinner #7 - Slow Cooker Chicken Stew

For our last dinner recommendation of the week, may we suggest a mouth-watering chicken stew that can be thrown into your crock pot  by lunch time and that will be ready for dinner.  Enjoy!

1 cup diced shallots
3 stalks celery, diced
4 carrots, peeled and diced
1½ pounds boneless organic chicken breasts, cut into chunks
2 cups diced tomatoes
1 cup water
¼ to ½ cup dry white wine
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1-2 teaspoons sea salt
black pepper, to taste

• Add all ingredients to your slow cooker and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
• If you don’t have a slow cooker, place all ingredients into a covered casserole dish and bake in the oven for about 2½ hours at 300ºF.

Makes 4-6 servings.
