Chicken Italiano

Print Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 6 hours

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Large, whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each cut into 3 pieces. The recipe says 2 chicken breasts, but there's plenty of sauce for more.
  • 3/4 tsp. Salt
  • 1/4 tsp. Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. Dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. Dried basil
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 26 oz Jar low-sodium meatless spaghetti sauce

Instructions
 

  • Place chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle seasonings over the chicken.
  • Pour sauce over seasoned meat, stirring to be sure the chicken is completely covered.
  • Cover. Cook on low 7 hours or on high for 3 1/2 - 4 hours.
  • Serve over pasta.

Notes

The recipe calls for 2 chicken breasts, but I found that's really not enough and there's plenty of sauce leftover. So, I double it to 4 chicken breasts and then increase the cooking time from 6 hours on low to 7 hours on low. It works perfectly.
