Creamy Artichoke Chicken

Tonight's fare is from the collection of recipes on my Tastefully Simple website.  

So this recipe is     Creamy Artichoke Chicken

You can get the recipe here.  If you like what you see and want to get the Tastefully Simple Warm Artichoke and Spinach Dip Mix, you can order it from that site as well.

This recipe is a slow cooker recipe. Funny thing...  I decided to doctor up the recipe like I often do and add zucchini and tomatoes to it about 45 minutes before we were to eat so they wouldn't be mushy. I went to add the vegetables and realized I hadn't turned the slow cooker on!!  So I transferred everything into a casserole dish and baked it at 350 degrees F for about an hour. I put the vegetables in it when I transferred it and gave it all a stir and they were fine, not too mushy.  About half an hour later I started boiling the water for my rice pasta. Then 15 minutes later I added the cheese. I did not have swiss so I added a cheese blend that I had which was already shredded. (I cheat. LOL).  It was wonderful. Here is what the final outcome looked like. 


In the recipe it tells you to serve it over top of potatoes, or pasta or rice. So it is very versatile. I personally think this recipe would be good with any vegetables added-- try spinach in the last half hour or so of cooking, or carrots added at the beginning, on the bottom of the slow cooker. I think broccoli added in the last hour or so would be good too.  I just have zucchini and tomatoes to use up so I added some. My husband, the zucchini hater, said I can put zucchini in this dish any time and serve it to him. 

So I guess this one is a keeper too!!  

Now give it a try yourself. Enjoy!
