Tomato Parmesan Chicken // Tender & Crunchy!

After sharing the Pizza Dough recipe earlier this week, I decided to share another Italian inspired dish with you. I was coming up with this one, when I didn't feel like going to the store. So all the ingredients are basically things you might find in your pantry and freezer. It turned out so good, it's one of our favorite dishes now.
I love the way the chicken turns out after a few hours in the slow cooker. But I also love a crunchy crust. This recipe is combining the best of both worlds:

One week down // Weekend plans

Howdy ladies!

TGIF! What a week! Working with people in Korea, who celebrate "Chinese New Year" this weekend and taking off to visit family and friends turned out making this whole week a lot busier for me than usual. A lot had to be done before their 4-day-weekend. I wish I had one, too, though!

But nonetheless I am really looking forward to my weekend! While I sit at work, my buddy Mr. Slow Cooker prepares this for me:

So my weekend will start off with a nice dinner! I might call my sis as well, maybe she wants to join me? Eating alone is not really fun... But this "Quinoa Chicken Chili" looks delicious! Can´t wait to try it!

I think I will start watching "Army Wives" again and start with Season 1 tonight. To be honest, I didn`t really like this show first. But after a while I got hooked up and as I confessed on my Facebook the other day: I cried watching the season finale of Official Army Wives.Do you watch the show? Who´s your fave character? I can´t really decide, but if I had to pick, I'd have to say Roxy. She was so naive in the beginning and now she has become such a sting person. I hope she will be back. It won't be the same without her...




Saturday or Sunday I will go to the movies with 2 friends from church. I haven´t been in a movie theatre for AGES! I hope I won´t fall asleep. I don´t even know which movie we are going to watch?! I just told them I`m in, and all  I need to know is time and place, and I´ll be there.

M told me to stay busy while he`s in the USA. I´m doing my best to do it, but still enjoying quiet time at home, with a book, coffee, Coco...

But I'm back on my church schedule as well and I'm happy to go to the service again every Sunday and bible class on Thursdays.

On 02/20 me and two of my sisters will go to a concert in Nuremberg. Moses Pelham, my fave german "rapper" and producer! I'm looking forward to it! It just sucks it's on a Monday and I won't be off Tuesday... Going out partying while having to work the next day is nothing for women my age anymore ;oD!

What have you guys planned for the weekend? Anything exciting?
