Chicken Cacciatore

I submitted this recipe to Favorite Brand Name Recipes and it is featured in their Home -Tested Slow Cooker Recipes cookbook. I was the only one from Canada that was featured in the book. This makes a great sauce for pasta. Add more garlic if you like. You can also simmer this on the stove for 2-3 hrs. if you don't have a slow cooker.
