One of the really cool things about crockpot cooking is that you can throw frozen things in the crock to cool all day long and they will tenderize and release a whole bunch of flavor while they cook slowly in their own juices.
This is a grown-up version of lazy chicken.
The taste is sophisticated, but the preparation takes all of twelve seconds.
The most difficult part of this dinner was remembering to take a picture before we ate it all.

serves 4
2-3 pounds chicken. I like boneless thighs; any kind will work.
1 (10-ounce) bag of frozen artichoke hearts
1 cup green olives, no juice
1 (26-ounce) can of tomatoes (and juice)
The Directions:
put everything in your crockpot.
turn on.
cook on low for 8 hours, high for 4-6.
Serve over pasta, rice, or quinoa.
We ate it with quinoa, and it was a great pairing.
and it kind of made me want to go on a vacation.

The Verdict.
Sometimes the best tasting recipes are also the easiest.
It's really not important (well it's not important to me!) to slave away in the kitchen to get a good tasting meal.
I am a set it and forget it kind of girl and this recipe fits that criteria!!
:-)
