Slow Cooker Mushroom Chicken Cacciatore

 

From Quick Cooking

 

Jane Bone from Cape Coral, Florida gives an Italian treatment to

 

chicken by slow-cooking it in a zesty tomato sauce and serving it

 

over spaghetti. "It's great for company because it frees up time to

 

spend with guests. Toss a salad and you're ready to eat," she

 

suggests.

 

INGREDIENTS

 

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1-1/2 pounds)

 

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

 

1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce

 

2 cans (4 ounces each) sliced mushrooms, drained

 

1 medium onion, chopped

 

1/4 cup red wine or chicken broth

1-1/4 teaspoons dried oregano

 

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

 

1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon salt
