Ingredients
3 - 4 Boneless Chicken Breasts (depending on size, and I trim the fat)4 Tbsp. EVOO6 Tablespoons Dry White Wine1/2 Tsp. Salt1/2 Tsp. Pepper4 Garlic Cloves, minced1 Tsp. Dried Basil1/2 Tsp. Dried Parsley1/4 Cup Finely Grated Parmesan Cheese + 2 Tbsp for later (I use reduced fat)1 Cup Uncooked Whole Wheat Orzo1 Cup broccoli (I buy steamer bag frozen)
Directions
The night before, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Whisk together 3 tablespoons EVOO, 1/4 cup cheese, basil, parsley, garlic, and 3 Tbsp. white wine in a bowl. Place chicken in large ziplock bag, pour marinade over top and coat chicken. Keep in fridge overnight.

The next morning, put chicken in crockpot with 3 tablespoons white wine. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Prepare 1 cup of whole wheat orzo according to directions. Once cooked, drain and combine with remaining olive oil, 2 tablespoons of parm, and salt and pepper if desired. Cut chicken into pieces and toss with orzo. Add in broccoli and top with additional parm if wanted. Enjoy!

Ps - this stores very well for lunch the next day!
