This is a recipe that my Mom always made for us in the 70's, which I found in her original 1970 Crock Pot Recipe Booklet (with the page "dog-eared" and check-marked), and over the years has been tweaked just a bit for our own tastes...Super easy, and since I've been married (and divorced) twice now, I can honestly tell you that it is a "Man-Pleaser" as well as a kid-friendly recipe. I make this at least a couple of times every month, and they always ask me when I'm going to make it again! Really tasty, and easy too, since you dump everything in the crock pot in the morning and when you all come home from work or school, the house smells amazing!!!

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
3/4 cup beer, Budweiser is my choice
1 (6 ounce) jar Spanish olives with pimento (with liquid)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt & pepper
1 (16 ounce) bag wide egg noodles, cooked according to pkg. directions, drained and buttered VERY WELL

Directions

1
Wash chicken breasts, drain, and season on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
2
Place seasoned chicken breasts in crock pot.
3
Mix tomato paste and beer together and pour evenly over chicken breasts.
4
Add olives with liquid.
5
Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours.
6
Serve each chicken breast over a small mound of prepared noodles, and dish sauce (with olives) over each serving. YUM!
7
NOTE: You can also substitute 3/4 cup (6 oz.) chicken stock instead of beer. Makes it a bit more savory and seems to be more tasty for kids that way -- .

Great recipe! I love Spanish chicken and this is a great crockpot recipe. As Michelle said, if you don't like olive, this isn't for you. The green olives are the key ingredient in this recipe. I wasn't able to use a crockpot when cooking it this time. I had no large crockpot, due to Hurricane Ike. I prepared it in a large skillet on the stovetop and used chicken broth instead of beer. I drained the juice from the olives and used extra chicken broth to make up the difference in the liquid amount. I also used boneless chicken breast tenders instead of the whole boneless breasts and substituted rotini for the egg noodles. The sauce was delicious. I'm thinking of doubling it next time I make the recipe because we wished there had been a little more to put on the pasta.

This was a wonderful dish. I will say however, if you are lukewarm on lives, or do not like things a bit on the salty side this is NOT the dish for you. I, however love both, so this was right up my alley! I did sub boneless skinless thighs for the breasts and added a chopped onion and sauteed mushrooms for more veg. This is excellent served over buttered egg noodles. I enjoyed it so much I ate it for lunch and dinner one day! I felt the sauce "mellowed" over a day and the flavors melded more only adding to my enjoyment of this dish. I will make this again.

We liked this, but I don't know if I'd make it again. It had an unusual flavor- I felt like it needed more seasoning or less olives or something. I served this over rice and with a side of corn. The ease of preparation was nice on a busy day. Thanks for sharing.

I love this recipe!!! I got this recipe with my crock pot in the 80s and I used to make it all the time. I got married 10 years ago and my husband doesn't eat olives so I haven't made it since. I have cravings for it. He's traveling so I looked all morning but can't find the crock pot recipe booklet it was in and I was praying I would find it online. This is an answer to prayer. Thank you for making my day!
