Chicken Mediterranean (Slow Cooker)

The toughest part about this meal was making the zucchini noodles, and since Tucker did that for me...that really leaves nothing!  Who doesn't like a hot meal with red saucy meat on a COLD day?  Whenever it's really cold, I crave Italian!  So, as the temps didn't reach out of the 30s...and the rain was pushing in...I threw this into the slow-cooker in less than 1 minute, at 3:30pm...just in time for it to be ready for dinner.  And the best part...I didn't even touch it!


What you need...
26oz. jar your favorite sugar free Pasta Sauce - I like HT Organics Tomato Basil
14oz. can artichoke hearts, quartered - drained
2 tablespoons capers
4-6 organic chicken breasts

Place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker, top with sauce, artichokes and capers.  Turn to high heat for 2.5 hours or low for 4 hours.  Serve over zucchini noodles.

Noodles: Spiralize zucchinis.  Add to a large saute pan, drizzle with a 1-2 count of olive oil and turn to high heat.  SautΓ© while tossing for about 3-4 minutes, until just softened.  Serve topped with sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parmesan cheese!

See...I told you this was easy!
