Notes:
You can make this with frozen chicken breasts if cooking on low, though it will most likely take the full 8 hours to cook. I recommend thawing the frozen chicken at room temperature the morning before making.

Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 pounds - boneless skinless chicken breasts, thawed
- 1 - green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 - yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves - garlic
- 1 cans - diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 cans - tomato sauce
- 3 tablespoons - red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoons - Italian seasoning (or a mix of basil, rosemary, oregano, marjoram and thyme)
- 1/4 teaspoons - crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoons - salt
- 1/4 teaspoons - freshly cracked pepper
- 1/2 cups - shredded mozzarella cheese or small chunks of fresh mozzarella
- 1 boxes - whole grain pasta, cooked al dente and drained
- 2 tablespoons - fresh parsley or basil, chopped, optional
Directions:
Place chicken in slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients and seasonings, except mozzarella, pasta and herbs. Stir ingredients gently to combine flavors.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours.
Once cooked, remove chicken and slice into bite-sized pieces (or cut easily inside crockpot, if preferred). Add back to slow cooker. Serve heaping spoonfuls on top of cooked pasta and sprinkle mozzarella on top, if desired.
If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil.
