Sweating it out at the pumpkin patch.

Let's all agree that it is TOO HOT to be fall here in SLO. This weather means that I don't want to even think about turning on the oven and heating up the whole apartment. With that in mind, here's a recipe perfect for those of us who are short on time and are lucky enough to own a crock pot. (Really though-you can make anything in a crock pot. Go invest in one if you don't already).

Slow Cooker Pesto Chicken

The easiest of easy dinners. 

Time required: 3-4 or 6-8 hours depending on slow cooker setting

Special equipment: slow cooker

6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

6 oz pesto

½ cup chicken broth

Turn slow cooker on to high. Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker, stir, and close lid. Cook 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.

Goes well with a side of pasta and steamed veggies.
