Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore

2 onions, sliced thin

1 chicken, cut up (or use browned chicken breasts cut in bite sized pieces)
1 lb. can tomatoes
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 to 2 tsp. crushed oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1 bay leaf
1 (4 oz.) can mushrooms (optional)
1/4 c. dry white wine or apple juice (optional)

Make a layer of onion slices in bottom of crock pot. Place chicken pieces on onions. Add remaining ingredients. Cook on low 6 to 8 hours. (If you've used cut up chicken breast, cooking time can be reduced.)

We served over angel hair wheat pasta.

Balsamic Chicken Pasta Salad

This recipe was ok but it was missing something that I haven't identified yet.  I would try it again with a different balsamic dressing the one I picked was not the best.

Ingredients

3 cups rotini pasta noodles
1 package chicken tenderloins
1 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing, divided
2 carrots
1 bell pepper
1 cucumber
1 tomato (or more if you like more)
Salt/Pepper, to taste

Directions:
Make sure the chicken is cooked.  I had precooked chicken in the crock pot and this was my last portion of it.

Cook the pasta until it is at your desired tenderness. Drain it and cool it down.

Chop up the veggies and chicken

Mix all ingredients in a bowl.  I made this the night before so that it could marinate.
