  Tomato-Poached Chicken Breasts SRSLY, SRSLY domestic science, admin, domestic science, freezer cooking, recipes, slow cooker | (0)

  A cross between chicken parmesan, chicken cacciatore, and chicken "pot roast", this slow-cooker poaching method allows the tomato flavor to penetrate the entire breast and makes wonderfully moist chicken.
