  • Main Ingredients

    • 🍅 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
    • 🍷 1 cup dry red wine
    • 1 cup chicken stock
    • 🍅 2 tablespoons tomato paste
    • 2 cubes chicken bouillon
    • 🍗 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    • 2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
    • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or as needed
    • 🌶 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
    • 🧅 1 red onion, thinly sliced
    • 🍄 1 cup sliced crimini mushrooms (baby bella)
    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 cup sliced black olives (Optional)

STEPS

1

Preheat a slow cooker on High.

2

In a large bowl, stir together diced tomatoes, red wine, chicken stock, tomato paste, and chicken bouillon cubes.

3

Trim the chicken as necessary; sprinkle it with Italian seasoning.

4

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook chicken breasts until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker along with any accumulated juices.

5

In the same skillet, add bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Add more olive oil if necessary. Cook and stir until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

6

Stir in the flour and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 more minutes.

7

Stir in the tomato mixture and bring it to a boil. Simmer until thickened slightly, about 5 more minutes.

8

Stir in the olives (if using), then transfer the mixture to the slow cooker.

9

Reduce the slow cooker heat to Low and cook until the chicken is very tender, 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 hours.

10

Stir pesto and sugar into the chicken mixture, then cook for 30 minutes more.
