Nana's Crockpot Style Chicken Cacciatore...prepares in minutes

This is a wonderful simple recipe for homemade Chicken Cacciatore  which takes very little time to prepare. Leaves you free to do other things while it cooks all day on low. Serve over pasta. Double the recipe for 8 servings...also makes a great dinner for company...looks like you spent hours in the kitchen....
Serves 4....

Ingredients :
 4 boneless skinless Chicken Breasts rinsed and cleaned if necesary ( you can also use chicken tenders in place of whole chicken breasts...
 1/2 cup White Cooking Wine
 1 cup any Spaghetti Sauce..I am using Ragu Tomato Basil
 1 12 oz can Stewed tomatoes with Onions and Peppers...or Basil and Garlic ( with liquid )
 1 small Green Pepper diced
 1 small Onion sliced
 1 cup sliced fresh Mushrooms
 2 tsp. Basil
 1 Bay Leaf
 1 tsp. Oregano
 2 tsp. Minced Garlic
 1/2 tsp. Black and red Pepper mix
Pour 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce into the bottom of a 4 or 5 quart crock pot, add chicken breasts. Pour remaining white wine, and spaghetti sauce over chicken. stewed tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms and seasonings. Stir gently . Turn crock pot on to low setting and let cook 6 hours .
In time for dinner fill a large pot about half way with water add 1/2 tsp. salt and 2 tsp. cooking oil ( olive oil or vegetable oil) to keep pasta from sticking. About 1/2 a box of pasta makes enough for 4 people. Cook according to directons, drain and serve with ckicken on top plus a spoon full of sauce
.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if you like...
Serve with Salad and Garlic Bread or Bread sticks
