Crock Pot Chicken

As many of you know, I am due any day to have our second child...so I have decided that I need to start making more crock pot dinners so that I am spending less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying my growing family! So, yesterday I threw this meal together and it turned out great!

1 lb. semi-frozen chicken breasts (thick-cut)
5-6 diced tomatoes (I had some frozen from summer time, so they were so fresh and tasty)
1/2 lb. sliced mushrooms
3-4 whole carrots, sliced
1 cup water (more or less to cover the ingredients)
Lots of Sea Salt
Lots of Italian Seasoning (grinder includes basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary)
Little Ground Pepper
Garlic
Onion Salt
*I didn't measure any of the spices, so you could add lots or a little to your liking!

1. Place all ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours.
2. After 3-4 hours, open crock pot and stir well...also adding more spices if you would like.

I served this over a small amount of brown rice, but you could enjoy it plain or over brown rice pasta if you wish. The chicken was tender and fell apart as we ate it! Next time, I will likely add other veggies such as green beans or zucchini, but I just used what was in my fridge this time. The prep time was about 5 minutes and we got to enjoy the italian smell all day long!
