Categories     Chicken

Time 6h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 boneless chicken breasts
2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, drained
2 (15 ounce) cans artichoke hearts, quartered
1 ounce dry chicken gravy mix, packet
1/4 cup red wine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
8 ounces sliced mushrooms (optional)

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. They will cook evenly and quickly in the slow cooker.
  • Season the chicken well: Be generous with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to flavor the chicken and make it more flavorful.
  • Use high-quality canned tomatoes: Whole tomatoes that have been peeled and diced are the best choice for this recipe. They will hold their shape better in the slow cooker and give the sauce a richer flavor.
  • Drain the artichokes well: Before adding the artichokes to the slow cooker, be sure to drain them well. This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming too watery.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours: This will allow the chicken to cook through slowly and evenly.
  • Serve the chicken with rice, pasta, or vegetables: This dish is versatile and can be served with a variety of sides.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker chicken with tomatoes and artichokes is an easy and flavorful meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight.
