Crockpot Chicken Spaghetti Sauce
from the kitchen of April Tebbe
ingredients
1 Jar Spaghetti Sauce. May need 2 jars if cooking for a large family.
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (frozen or thawed - 1 per adult, 1 for every 2 kids)
Pasta
Cheese
Optional Italian herbs
directions
1. Put spaghetti sauce in your crock pot. 2. Add chicken. Chicken can be thawed or frozen. 3. Set crock pot on low if you have a few hours for the chicken to cook or high if you only have an hour. I have found it doesn't take that long for the frozen chicken to cook even if you have to put it on high for just an hour. 4 .Once fully cooked take chicken breasts out of sauce. Shred with a fork, cut into chunks, or throw into a food processor to grind a little bit (whatever your family preference). 5. Add chicken back to sauce in crock pot. 6. Heat through and serve over any style of pasta. 7. Add shredded mozzarella on top or Parmesan cheese.
**Extra add-ins if desired: at the start of cooking throw in some extra Italian spices for added flavor to sauce. You can also add in frozen spinach or frozen broccoli for an extra veggie boost to the sauce (just add them with enough time for them to cook).
