"This is a wonderful casserole to prepare in your crock pot. Serve with Texas Toast and side salad and your dinner is complete."

 

• Ready In: 7hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 16
• Serves: 5

ingredients

• 4 ounces green bell peppers or 4 ounces red bell peppers, cut into strips
• 6 ounces broccoli florets, cut small
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 large onions, diced
• 4 ounces carrots, peeled and cut into strips
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
• 1 (8 ounce) can Italian plum tomatoes, with juice
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon rosemary
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes

directions

1. I usually use five to six frozen half chicken breasts and don't bother to cut them into cubes.
2. In crock pot cooking, it is best to use frozen chicken so it doesn't dry out.
3. It is up to you which method you choice, both work well.
4. Place the vegetables in the bottom of crock pot with chicken on top.
5. Mix all other ingredients together and pour over chicken and vegetables.
6. Cook on low for 7 to 10 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
7. Serve over your favorite pasta topped with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese.
8. I like fettuccine.

We just got finished devouring this chicken dinner. WOW!! We all thought it was fabulous. I did not chop the chicken breasts, but left them whole like you suggested.They turned out fine and were very moist. The vegetables and sauce were very well seasoned and went great with the noodles. Thanks for something that my whole family likes.

Thank you for an easy crockpot meal. I put the chicken in frozen and cooked on high for 4 hours. Perfect. The seasonings in this recipe really make this dish one I will make again.

This was an easy throw together the night before and plug and go the next day. I did take the easy way out and used frozen vegetables for everything (except the onions). I used a 14 ounce can of diced tomates, drained, and omitted the chicken bouillon (didn't have any). We liked this, it was flavorful. I didn't cook any pasta with it, just served with crusty bread. Thanks for a great come-home-to recipe, Audrey. Will make again. sue

Thought I'd give chicken breasts in the slow cooker one more try. Just doesn't work for me. The rest of the dish was very flavorful. Next time I'd try thighs or legs.

Delicious and nutritious! I didn't have bell peppers so I left them out and added a bit more broccoli. I only used one onion and I had fresh oregano and thyme, so I put in those and omitted the rosemary. Next time I'll add the broccoli in during the last few hours to keep it from cooking so much. Other than that,I wouldn't change a thing!
