Chicken in Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

My neighbor made this for our dinner co-op and it was absolutely delicious!

2 cans cream of chicken soup & herbs
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pitted kalamata olives
2 tbsp drained capers
2 cloves minced garlic
1 can (14oz) artichoke hearts drained and chopped
1 cup drained chopped sun-dried tomatoes
8 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 2lbs)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves (optional)

Mix soup, chicken broth, olives, capers, garlic, artichokes, and tomatoes in 3 1/2 quart slow cooker. Add chicken and turn to coat.

Cover and cook on low 7-8hrs or on high 4-5hrs, or until chicken is no longer pink. Sprinkle basil, if desired, serve with rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes.

Pork Street Tacos

These are soooo yummy! I will take a pic tonight after dinner and add it to the post (if I remember)

1 can chicken broth
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 tbsp cumin
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1-2 tsp minced onion
1-2 tbsp lime juice
2 c water/2 buillion cubes

Salt and pepper both sides of pork roast. Put all ingredients into crock pot and cook 7-8hrs on low or 4-5 hrs on high. Once cooked, take meat out of crock-pot and shred into bowl. Put shredded meat into casserole dish with some of the crock pot juice. Cook at 450 for 20 min. Serve onions, cilantro and salsa.
