Savory and Speedy Dinner!

What do you get when you take 8 aromatic piles of herbs and spices:





Happily stir them all together:




Rub them briskly into boneless chicken breasts:




Lay them snugly in the crockpot, pour over some broth, and let slowly simmer?





Why, just some really tasty, yummy-scrummy chicken that's moist and spicy and took all of 5 minutes to prepare!




You must try!

Cajun Roasted Chicken Breasts

3 pounds boneless and skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 cup chicken broth


I cut up each chicken breast piece into 3 pieces. Then I mixed all the herbs/spices together and rubbed them on all sides of the breast pieces. Lay pieces in slow cooker and pour on 1 cup of chicken broth. Cook on low 6-8 hours or on high 4-5 hours.

  2. Oh wow, that sounds wonderful...and divinely simple. I have all those ingredients already. I believe I'll have to give this a try this weekend. I love it when you share your recipes!
    Also wanted to say...your new blog header is gorgeous. I am lovin' the red gerbers against the blue backdrop of your wall. Absolutely fabulous! I'd love to know the paint color name and brand you used on your bathroom.
