crock pot chicken cacciatore..sorta!

evoo
2 cloves garlic chopped
6 boneless chicken breasts cut into cubes
variety of peppers.. 6 total, sliced
1 container sliced baby bella mushrooms
1 onion (optional) sliced
1 cup chicken broth
2 cans crushed tomatoes (i use tutturoso)
3 basil leaves
salt & pepper to taste

1 box ziti or spaghetti cooked according to directions..al dente.

*I use a 4-7 quart crock pot. So depending on the size of yours, you may need to use less ingredients.
if your using a smaller crock pot, you should cut all ingredients in half...
*For the peppers, i used a variety of sweet peppers, some cubanelle, 1 orange and 1 green.. you use whatever you prefer...

Turn on crock pot on high.. let it get hot. Add a few swirls of EVOO.. add chopped garlic and raw chicken. replace top. let simmer in crockpot for about 15 mins. 
add the rest of ingredients (except ziti) in order shown. Mix together and let cook on high for 5 hours.
Before you serve, make pasta. Toss with chicken cacciatore and enjoy!!
