This is a great healthy recipe that can be made in the slow cooker and can be served on whole wheat pasta. We served it on spaghetti squash for added extra healthiness.
12 oz chicken breast
1 cup chopped mixed colored peppers
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
14 oz can Italian diced tomatoes
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp dried rosemary
1 large spaghetti squash
Cut the chicken breast into small bite size cubes. Preheat a medium skillet on medium heat with a tbsp of olive oil. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Brown 2 minutes on each side. Put into the slow cooker. Add the rest of the ingredients (except squash) and stir well. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. To cook the squash, poke a few holes in the squash with a sharp knife, put it on a paper towel in the microwave and cook for 6-10 minutes depending on the size. Cut in half, clean out seeds and scrape out with a fork to make strands. Serves 6
This sounds great. I have a chicken cacciatore with squash on my plan for next week! I guess it's just that time of year. YUM
