Ingredients
-
3 - 4 Boneless Chicken Breasts (depending on size, and I trim the fat)
4 Tbsp. EVOO
6 Tablespoons Dry White Wine
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Tsp. Pepper
4 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 Tsp. Dried Basil
1/2 Tsp. Dried Parsley
1/4 Cup Finely Grated Parmesan Cheese + 2 Tbsp for later (I use reduced fat)
1 Cup Uncooked Whole Wheat Orzo
1 Cup broccoli (I buy steamer bag frozen)
Tips
- The type of wine you choose may alter the flavor a little but not noticeably. You can use the non-alcoholic cooking white wine.
- I usually go heavy handed on the broccoli so it stretches the carbs.
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!
Serving Size: Serves 3-4, or 2 with Lots of Leftovers
