• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 1 teaspoon Basil

1. Spice warning: This recipe is very spicy, and while I like spicy food, I usually use about half of the spicy ingredients listed here.
2. So if you dont like that much heat, I recommend that you decrease the amounts of the spicy ingredients to: 1 teaspoon cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon each of black pepper and crushed red pepper.
3. Turn a medium sized slow cooker on low.
4. Pour in beer, olive oil, and stewed tomatoes.
5. Mix all of the spices (except bay leaves) and the bread crumbs together in a shallow bowl.
6. Rub the pieces of chicken/turkey in the seasonings and put chicken into the slow cooker.
7. Add the bay leaves.
8. Pour the leftover seasonings into the slow cooker.
9. Stir to combine and put the lid on.
10. Cook on low for 4-6 hours.
11. Stir occasionally to insure the tomatoes dont stick to the side and bottom of the pot.
12. In the last hour, cook your desired amount of white rice according to package instructions.
13. When done, remove the bay leaves.
14. Serve the chicken and sauce over white rice.
15. Enjoy!
