Italian Style Chicken and Spinach Parmesan Quinoa

Sunday I made a new dish found on Pinterest!   Italian Style Chicken and Spinach Parmesan Quinoa.  The chicken was made it the crock pot.

First off, when I went to Walmart I found they mismarked the chicken!  Yes $2.13!  Deal of the day!  It was the only one, otherwise I would have bought more!  It should have been $1.99 lb not $1.07 lb!


Here are the other ingredients.........

Crock Pot Italian Style Chicken 




2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 large diced tomato
1 c chicken broth
1/2 onion minced
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp dried Tarragon
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Place everything in the crock pot.  If you plan to double this recipe and freeze--- place all ingredients in a large freezer bag except for the chicken broth!

When ready to cook, defrost and place in slow cooker.  Add in chicken broth.  Cook on low for about 4 - 5 hours.
