Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

6 to 8 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves mashed
1 1/2 cups chicken broth reduce to 1/2 cup if not using crockpot meat rack *see below
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
sea salt and pepper to taste
15 ounces diced tomatoes carton, drained
1 1/2 cups parmesan cheese freshly shredded

Instructions

Place chicken breasts on the cooking rack and pour the chicken broth in the bottom of the slow cooker (it should come to just the top of the rack).
Add garlic cloves to the chicken broth. Drizzle chicken with olive oil and season with Italian seasoning, sea salt and pepper.
Pour drained, diced tomatoes on top and then sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Cook on low for 4-5 hours. Serve over top Zucchini Spaghetti.
Don't forget to reserve that delicious, rich broth for another recipe. Pour the liquid through a strainer and refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.

Notes

*I highly recommend using a crockpot meat rack when preparing this recipe. They are very inexpensive (see the link to the Danesco Roasting Rack above this recipe for a small rack, if needed) and the texture of the meat is better when it's not sitting in a lot of liquid while cooking. This can cause the muscle fibers to be too broken down, creating a texture that's too soft.
