Yummy, and even better as leftovers. My go-to recipe! Serve over a bed of pasta tossed in Parmigiano Reggiano.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup dry red wine
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cubes chicken bouillon
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed
2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup sliced crimini mushrooms (baby bella)
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sliced black olives
3 tablespoons prepared pesto (Genovese)
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat a slow cooker on High.
  • Stir tomatoes, wine, chicken stock, tomato paste, and chicken bouillon together in a large bowl. Trim chicken as necessary; sprinkle with Italian herb blend.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook chicken breasts until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to slow cooker along with any accumulated juices.
  • Place bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and garlic in skillet, along with more olive oil if needed. Cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour; cook until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato mixture; bring to a boil. Simmer until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes more. Stir in olives; transfer mixture to slow cooker.
  • Reduce slow cooker heat to Low and cook until chicken is very tender, 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 hours. Stir pesto and sugar into chicken mixture; cook for 30 minutes more.
