Recipe: Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore with Cauliflower “Rice”


By Emily Saunders

Ok, so we can agree that we  are ALL super busy and would love nothing more than dinner to appear before our eyes at night, right?  While I cannot work magic, my crockpot often can and does :).  Below is an awesome recipe that takes no more than 10 minutes to throw together.  I cannot yet test my recipes out on my 3 month old, but if they like chicken and tomatoes I don’t see why kids wouldn’t eat it    I do know that several of my friends feed their kids cauliflower rice and they love it!

 

 

 

Makes 6 servings

Ingredients:

6 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp Rosemary
1 tsp jarred minced garlic
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1/4 cup coconut flour (optional)
¼ cup white wine
2 celery stalks chopped
2 small or 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced into half moons
2 cups of mushrooms sliced
1 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes in juice (unsalted)
Layer all ingredients in the crockpot in the order of the ingredients.  Chicken on the bottom, then spices, flour, wine, veggies, tomatoes.  Cook on low for 8 hours and enjoy over the cauliflower rice.

Cauliflower Rice:

Chop one whole head of cauliflower into bite sized pieces.  Place a single layer of pieces into food processer and pulse until a “rice” or “couscous” texture is achieved.  Repeat until you have chopped the entire head of cauliflower.  Place in a covered microwavable dish with 2 tbsp. Earth Balance or Smart Balance Buttery Spread and microwave for 5-10 minutes.  Add sea salt and pepper to taste.  Done!!
