start by making the tomato sauce
on a cookie sheet place:
1 pint of cherry tomatoes
diced mushrooms
slices of onions
place in the oven at 350 until tomatoes start to pop.
place all of these items into a slow cooker on high. I added a bit of chicken broth from my soup, water would work as well, some dry italian seasoning, 2 cloves diced garlic, and some basil. Let it simmer for a long as you can. You can keep in chunky or you can use a stick blender and puree the sauce a bit which is what I did.
add the Chicken or meat of choice
Once the sauce is cooked I added 4 pre-measured pieces of 3.5 oz of chicken to the sauce and allowed it to cook through. I am looking forward to trying it over my miracle angle hair noodles. the chicken absorbed tons of flavor, and I plan to eat it with some noodles tonight and maybe with some spinach or cauliflower tomorrow.
you really can't overcook this in a slow cooker. I let the sauce go on low for about 8 hours and added the chicken and let it go on high for another 4. I think the longer the sauce cooks the better. I like my tomatoes sauce with a bit of sugar normally so I added a tiny amount of stevia but that is up to your taste.
