Weight Watcher Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore

This is one of our favorite recipes! We never buy spaghetti sauce. This is the only way we eat spaghetti now. I usually make it in a frying pan I think I have posted that recipe, I will have to check. This way is just as good and great for these hot days we've been having here in NJ. I am making this in fact tonight. I Serve it over thin spaghetti . For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes at the start of cooking.
