JennyKate's Made-Up Italian Chicken

I was referring to it as Made-Up Crock Pot Chicken Crap, but word on the street is that name isn't very appealing.  So, I shortened it.

Stars of the Show:

• Chicken (duh) - a 3lb bag of chicken breasts
• Chicken broth or stock - 1 box (or two cans. whatev)
• Diced tomatoes (the Italian variety...seasoned with oregano and basil) - 1 can
• Tomato paste - 1 can
• McCormick Italian Chicken seasoning packet
• tablespoon of minced garlic (from the jar) or maybe a couple of gloves if you go the fresh route.

You could also add in mushrooms, onions, additional spices, etc.  I was trying to keep it Isaiah friendly.

Act 1:

• Put all the ingredients into your crockpot.
• Turn your crock pot on and set it to low, if you want to cook it for 8+ hours, or set it to high if you would like it to cook faster and be finished in 4 hours.

Be sure to plug the crock pot in.  That's very important.  I know it sounds crazy, but that darn chicken will NOT cook if the crock pot isn't plugged it.  Trust me.

Act 2:

• Come home from a long days work...slaving away in the salt mines...or whatever it is you do during the day.
• Chicken is smelling up the house nicely.  I mean that in a good way.
• Boil some pasta of your choice.  I recommend linguine or thin spaghetti.

• Grate some fresh Parmesan Reggiano or if you don't love your family as much, just get the Parmesan in the jar out of the refrigerator.

The Grand Finale:

• Pile up some pasta.
• Put a yummylicious piece of chicken and some of the "sauce" over the pasta.
• Sprinkle or, in my case, shovel some Parmesan over the top.

• Enjoy!

Oh, and be sure to serve it on a paper plate, because that's real classy.
