Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomato Bruschetta

Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomato

I got the chance to try out these Sun dried tomatoes by Bella Sun Luci. It is produced in Chico, California by the Mooney Family. They are in 100% pure olive oil.

When I saw the jars I thought that these were truly top of the line. You can just peek inside through them to see all the goodness. I usually use canned tomatoes to throw into my recipes but for the sake of trying this I decided to use the Bella Sun Luci Bruschetta with Italian basil in the extra virgin olive oil.

I was going to do something different tonight. This is a recipe that NEEDS tomatoes in it or else it lacks. You'd think I would bust out an Italian food recipe. Nope! I wanted to use this stuff in an Indian dish....Hot Curry Chicken! I also usually make this recipe stove top but I decided to use my slow cooker as an experiment. 

First you need some chicken. I used some thin sliced chicken breasts. 

I cut that all up into pieces but I didn't make them too small or too large. I threw it all into my slow cooker. I also sprinkled some garlic and onion powder on top. 

I then cut 3/4 of an onion into slivers and threw it in. Any type of onion will do...I use yellow onions. I took a spoonful of chopped garlic (mine is jarred) and put it in with everything. I also have some red chili pepper in a squeeze tube that i squirted in there.

Now for the tomatoes. Like I said, I would usually just take some canned tomatoes and throw it in but I am going to use the Bella Sun Luci. 

I used 3/4 a cup but I later thought I should have put some more so I would use a whole whopping cup of it. Look at that quality. You can just see everything in its purest form. It smelled so awesome and the consistency was perfect. 

After that I used 3-4 big tablespoons of Patak's Hot Curry paste. Then I added about 1 cup of water which you could substitute for chicken broth if you want more flavor. 

Cover and let it cook on low for 6-7 hours. I put mine in at 10:00 am and let it go until like 7pm.

 

 

 This is how it will look when it's all done. Your chicken will be nice and tender and mixed in with a wonderful sauce. (If your sauce comes out too thin just add some flour and cook it on high for like 5 mins more)

 

 

I put some naan bread in the oven to have with it and made some white rice to serve it on. It's just a wonderful filling meal to have in colder weather. It's very kid friendly as well.
