51. Slow Cooker Caprese Chicken

Anne talks through this slow cooker caprese chicken and pasta, which only has us putting 4 ingredients in our crock pot before walking away for a few hours. Cook up some pasta when it's almost done and you've got a complete, low effort dinner.

The printable recipe is linked above, but if you're putting your grocery list together, here's what you'll need:

Inside aisles: 1 6-7 oz jar pesto

Meat: 1 lb chicken breasts (2-3 breasts)

Produce: 10 oz cherry tomatoes, 1 handful fresh basil (optional finishing garnish)

Dairy: 2-4 oz mozzarella (about 2 slices/breast)

I also recommend serving this with your favorite pasta, as the cooked tomatoes and pesto make a great sauce. You can use any slow cooker, but I reach for this (affiliate link) one with a temperature probe when cooking chicken breasts so it can switch to warm once they hit 165.
