Crock Pot Chicken and Shrimp

July 6, 2009 | By admin In crock pot chicken and shrimp |

This is a very easy and versatile dish. You can add shrimp or scallops or just use chicken. I like to serve it with pasta, but it’s great with rice or cous cous also. And it smells really good while it cooks!

2 pounds chicken, white or dark, skin removed, cut in chunks

non-stick cooking spray or a teaspoon or 2 of vegetable oil

3/4 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup parsley, minced

1/2 cup white wine

12 ounces tomato sauce (1 1/2 cups)

1 tsp. dried leaf basil

1 pound uncooked shrimp, peeled and deveined

Cut chicken into cubes or strips. Lightly brown in frying pan with 2 tsp of oil. Place chicken in crockpot. Sautee onion, garlic and parsley in pan for about 1 minute. Stir remaining ingredients, except shrimp, into frying pan then pour over chicken. Cook on LOW 4-5 hours. Add shrimp and cook an additional 1.5 hours on LOW. Be sure shrimp is cooked through before turning off crock pot. Serve with pasta, rice or cous cous.
