This was very good and so easy. Everyone just loved it. For the left overs I combined the pasta, sauce and cut up the chicken . . . yummy!!

I was nervous about making this for company without having done a test run first, but it was a huge success! Our dinner guest took leftovers home with him and my family asked that it become part of my regular repertoire.

I used frozen bone-in chicken breast & spaghetti sauce which I cooked for 7 hours. It was great. Next time I will add more tomatoes because they were really good.

Very flavorful and simple. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and I slow cooked on hi for 5 hours. The recipe says to cook on low. I had large chicken pieces and I didn't think that would be long enough.
