McCormick Spices came to me last month and asked if I would be willing to test out and try their new line of skillet sauces. I said yes, of course! I mean, who wouldn’t? It’s McCormick!!! They are the big man on campus when it comes to spices!
You can find these cute little skillet sauces at your local Wal-Mart for only $1.68 each. They are located in the spices & sauce aisle. I ended up purchasing two each of the Taco, Sicilian Chicken, and Sesame Chicken Stir Fry.
We tried the Taco Skillet Sauce and loved it, but the recipe I used with it was not blog worthy. After this realization, I was brainstorming with Husband Man about how to use the rest of the Skillet Sauces. He suggested to turn one of them into a slow cooker recipe. We looked at the back of the Sicilian Chicken package and were shocked to find an actual slow cooker recipe for it!
We figured it was “meant to be” so I went to town on cooking it.
This recipe actually has fresh bell peppers, mushrooms (we used canned, but you definitely can use fresh if you prefer), and onions. It’s so simple!!! You just place your chicken breasts in the slow cooker, place your veggies on top, place your skillet sauce on top, stir the sauce around some to make sure it coats the chicken and veggies…then cook on low for 7 hours!
The mixture of the tomato, basil, and garlic is the perfect compliment to the fresh vegetables! Easy, delicious, and sooooo very comforting! It was the perfect recipe to kick off Slow Cooker Monday!
Oh…and an added bonus…because it cooks all day, it will make your house smell ridiculously yummy! So yes, take yourselves to Wal-Mart and find these wonderful Skillet Sauces and prepare to wow your family. They are that good!

OK people, I actually made this dish last night and it was very good. Even my picky eater wife said that she would have it again. I topped it off with Parmesan Cheese and used green peppers with a small amount of Poblano peppers in it just because I had them. Excellent. Give it a try. The dog won't get this one!
I am so very glad you made it and liked it 😉 Thanks so much for letting us know 🙂
