Pantry Goodies

And had frozen ones too. Being a little under the weather can really put a glitch in my daily routine. I had no energy to look up great Gluten Free recipes, let alone go to the store to buy the ingredients necessary.

While opening the refrigerator door and cupboard repeatedly, as if something were going to reappear when I opened it again; I figured why not use the things I already do have and create a delicious meal for dinner? Scavenging through every shelf I came up with these ingredients:

-3 lbs of Boneless Chicken Breast (thawed)
-Red Onion (chopped in quarters)
-Garlic Head (slice in half)
-Bush of Thyme
-1 Lemon sliced in half
-1tbsp of Olive Oil
-2 tomatoes chopped
-1tsp of salt
-1/4tsp of ground pepper
-Rice or any side of your choice





I grabbed the slow cooker out because I knew I had to work later in the evening and it would be ready by six o'clock just in time for Wade to feed them dinner.

In the slow cooker:
1. Added about 1tbsp of olive oil
2. Added the cut onion and garlic
3. After rubbing some sea salt and ground pepper on chicken breast I then added that to the slow cooker
4. Added a bush of Thyme and the lemon
5. Add a 1/3 cup of water

I cooked it on low for 6-8 hours and served it over rice or if you have Quinoa.
