How to Make Italian Chicken Stew

  1. Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
  2. In your slow cooker, combine the chicken, 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 small onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), 1 cup chicken broth, and 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  3. Stir gently to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Serve hot over your favorite cooked pasta. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of extra parsley, if desired.
