Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 pounds chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise
  • 3 cups marinara sauce
  • 8 ounce tomato sauce
  • 14.5 ounce diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 12 ounce frozen peppers and onions
  • 8 ounces dry spaghetti noodles
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions 

  • Coat the bottom of a 5 quart slow cooker with cooking spray or use a liner. Add marinara sauce, tomatoes,tomato sauce,spices and sugar. Stir until well mixed. Place chicken breast pieces on top of the sauce mix and cover.
  • Cook on High for 2 - 3 hours, or Low for 4 - 6 hours, until the chicken has reached 165°F on a meat thermometer inserted at the thickest part of the breast.
  • When the chicken is done, add the uncooked pasta and 1-1/2 cups water to the slow cooker and stir to cover the pasta with the sauce. Pour the frozen peppers and onion mix on top of the chicken and pasta.
  • Cook on high for an additional hour or until the pasta is al dente. Check after 30 minutes. Add 1/2 cup more water if the sauce is too thick and needed to complete cooking the pasta.
  • Serve by scooping pasta on a plate, topping with chicken and peppers and onion, and sprinkling with grated cheese.
