Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore

I looked at a few recipes online for Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore and then decided to make my own version in the end.

Prep Time: 15-20 minutes
Serves: 2 (with leftovers for lunch)

3/4 box of penne pasta
1 20 oz. can of crushed tomatoes
1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
1/2 yellow onion, sliced into strips
1 red pepper, sliced into strips
salt and pepper
5 fresh basil leaves, chopped
tarragon leaves from one stalk, chopped
olive oil (I used my mister)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup of white wine

Lightly spray a saute pan with olive oil.  Salt and pepper the chicken breasts and saute them on medium-high heat until just browned.  Put them in the crock pot and turn it on low.  Add the peppers and onions to the saute pan and cook for a few minutes.  Add the peppers, onions, tomatoes, herbs, and wine to the crock pot and give it a good stir.  Cook on low for 8 hours.  Take chicken out, put on a cutting board, and shred/pull apart using two forks.  Return chicken to slow cooker.  Increase heat to high and cook for 1 more hour with cover off.  (This may not be necessary for you, but I wanted to thicken up my sauce a bit more.)  Serve over penne with grated cheese.

Enjoy!
