Women at work and their tips, challenges, advice, complaints, and experiences

Whether you're a Workerette juggling a job outside the home, an at-home mom, a work-at-home mom or all of the above *yikes!*, you've probably wondered if a slow cooker would be useful for you.  I'm personally learning that the answer is a resounding YES!  Even if you aren't a mom (or perhaps, are a gramma or great-gramma), planning ahead can only be a good thing.  It makes the budget a little less likely to break, the days a little more efficient, and with recipes like the ones these ladies are sharing, it can make dinner healthier and/or tastier! 

This week let's go Moroccan and try on a spiced chicken stew for size.  There are lots of ingredients, but just a little work for this recipe.  You might want to pick up some couscous to serve it on!

What You Need:

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 C green olives
• 3/4 C reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 medium onion (sliced)
• 1 T bottled chopped ginger
• 1 T bottled lemon juice
• 2 tsp garam masala
• 2 tsp bottled crushed garlic
• 1 tsp salt-free lemon pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground turmeric

What To Do:

• Stir all ingredients together until completely combined in a 4-quart slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on low for 3-5 hours.
• Serve with your cooked couscous.  SO EASY!
