Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken


I found this recipe in the Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cookbook from the American Heart Association. This is nice and can be served as is or over pasta. It serves 8, has only 162 calories and 2.5 grams fat. It takes about 5 minutes to prep.

Ingredients:

2 LBS boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained (I used 5 tomatoes, chopped)
1 9-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1 cup chicken broth
1 2.25 ounce can sliced black olives, drained
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Discard all visible fat from chicken. Sprinkle both sides with basil and oregano. Put chicken in 4-quart slow cooker.

Stir in remaining ingredients. Cook, covered, on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours.
