Oops! What's for Dinner?



Having a just don't want to go to the store day and wondering what to have for dinner? Next time you are at Costco, buy a set of the boneless/skinless chicken thighs to store in the freezer and the Simply Natural Organic Tomato & Basil Pasta Sauce to keep on hand.
One package of thighs is good for four servings. Pour a little sauce on the bottom of the crockpot , and then place the (defrosted) thighs on top, covering each layer with a little more sauce, using about 1/2 of the jar. Crock on Low for 4 to 6 hours. When they are done, heat the remaining sauce from the jar, cook the spaghetti, add a green veggie and you're set. To avoid additional fat, I don't use the sauce from the crockpot but instead start fresh with the remaining unused sauce. It's a 28 ounce jar, so you'll have enough to spoon over the spaghetti. I really like this Simply Natural pasta sauce. Not only is it organic, but it has less salt, sugar and fat than even the Healthy Choice version. Pay the extra dollar plus change and get this instead. Costco has it in a 4-pack for around $8. Good to keep on hand when you want a thick sauce. It really made the chicken thighs very flavorful and the house smell great. I shall name this "Italian Chicken Thighs"
