Chicken, Grains & Green Beans

I desperately need to grocery shop and am putting it off for one more day. In an effort to feed both my family and our out of town guest, here's what we're having tonight.

Chicken
2 lbs. chicken, partially defrosted
1/4 cup white wine
salt
pepper

Place all ingredients in crockpot on high for 1 hour, then low for 1 additional hour.
Remove chicken, cut up and return to crock pot for 2 additional hours or until done.

Grains
1 1/4 cup harvest grains (blend of couscous, orzo, quinoa)
1 3/4 chicken broth

Bring broth to a boil.
Add grains, bring back to a boil.
Reduce to simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Green Beans
1 16 oz. package frozen string green beans
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup dry roasted almonds

Mix ingredients together.
Roast at 400 for 10-15 minutes until desired tenderness.

J brought home a rosemary peppercorn bread that was a great complement to the meal. And the multi grains blend (which we picked up at Trader Joe's) was wonderful. Every one of us loved it. I'll be stocking up the next time we go.

Yum! I love it! I especially loved the little yellow circle thingies. (Israeli couscous)

I really, really, really, really liked that. It was yummy! (She had seconds of everything... except for the green beans, just one serving of those.)
