Slow Cooker Pesto Chicken Thighs

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I've been using this recipe for a few weeks. I have to modify all recipes because I have a lot of food allergies. I make my own pesto with no garlic or cheese.
    I like mine best with whole chicken pieces of thighs and drumsticks. use water because I can't have the onion and garlic in ready-made broth.
    I was putting diced bell pepper in the bottom, but the pepper and finished broth end up tasting vinegary.
    This time I'm not putting pepper in the bottom. use four servings in a 3.5 qt. cooker. One serving is a large piece or two smaller pieces.
    I put the chicken in the cooker and put plenty of pesto on top of the pieces. I pour olive oil around the edges to make sure all the pieces are coated with oil. The pieces are usually frozen.
    Cook for eight hours on low. The chicken is very flavorful and the most tender I've experienced. :)
    I eat it with rice and steam bell pepper and chard on top of the rice. I put the broth from the slow cooker on the rice. You could also put more pesto sauce on the rice if you like. :) Thanks very much for this recipe!
