TUSCAN CHICKEN PASTA

This recipe is so easy and delicious. At first I thought it wouldn’t go over big at my house but I was wrong! My family really enjoyed it and my daughter doesn’t even like spaghetti sauce. I guess maybe it was because it was mostly tomatoes instead of sauce and it was chicken instead of beef. After I pulled the chicken out to cut up I got a little worried. There seemed to be a lot of sauce left. Well not to worry, just add your noodles and about 20 -30 minutes later it kind of seems you have more noodles than sauce. I was really amazed how much this made. I think I could’ve feed all my co-workers from one crock pot. It made that much. Next time I will have to half the recipe. The chicken of course was very tender and flavored from the tomatoes, garlic and Italian seasonings. The noodles were tender and best of all I didn’t have to use another pot to boil them! I love one pot cooking! Serve this with a salad and some crusty garlic bread and be the hit of the evening.

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb. of boneless skinless chicken
2 15 oz. cans of Italian style tomatoes
1 15 oz. can of tomato sauce
1 cup of water
1 can of mushrooms
1 chopped onion
1 chopped bell pepper
4 cloves of minced garlic
1 tsp. of Italian seasoning
6 oz. of uncooked spaghetti noodles

DIRECTIONS:

Spray the crock pot with PAM. Place the chicken in the bottom of the pot. Next add all the ingredients except the spaghetti noodles. Stir thoroughly, cover and cook on low for 5 hours. 20 -30 minutes before serving remove the chicken and cut up and return it to the pot. Then add the noodles and stir. Cover and cook on high until the noodles are soft.
