How to Make Tia's Crock Pot Spicy Chicken Cacciatore

Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crock pot, bone side up.
In a bowl, combine: 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sprinkle evenly over the chicken.
Add the following vegetables on top of the chicken: 1 medium onion, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 green bell pepper, chopped; 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained; 1 cup sliced mushrooms; 1/2 cup chopped carrots (optional).
Pour 2 (24 oz) jars of your favorite pasta sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork, stirring occasionally. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce.
Stir in 2 tbsp butter, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and continue to cook on low for another 30 minutes.
Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Serve hot over your favorite pasta (such as extra-wide egg noodles) and garnish with crusty bread.
