Crockpot Spanish Chicken

    I've been trying to use my crock pot more and still make healthy tasty food; this recipe allows you to do both. I was able to throw this together in just minutes and was able to have a tasty meal! I added a cup of instant brown rice to my crock pot 4 hours into the cooking cycle and it came out great! 


      
     Ingredients 
      2 lbs skinless boneless chicken thighs, fat trimmed

         1 small onion, diced
           1 garlic clove, crushed
            1 bell pepper, chopped or sliced
            4 plum tomatoes
            2 TBSP  pitted spanish olives
             8 oz can tomato sauce
             1/4 tsp oregano
             1/4 tsp cumin
             salt to taste
              1-2 bay leaf
             1/4 cup chopped cilantro (plus 2 tbsp more for serving)
      Directions

      Add tomato sauce, olives along with 1 tbsp of the brine, 1/2 cup water, bay leaf and cilantro. Mix well and set crock pot to HIGH 4 hours or LOW for 6 hours. When done, taste for salt and seasoning and adjust spices as needed. Add 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro and serve over rice. Serves 4

    Ingredients 
    Mix ingredients thoroughly and set crock pot for 6 hours.

    Enjoy!
