STEPS

Layer ingredients into a slow cooker in the following order: chicken, wine, onion, bell peppers, garlic, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, diced tomatoes, sugar, and tomato sauce. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow chicken to soak up the wine.

Remove the slow cooker from the refrigerator in the morning. Cook on Low, stirring occasionally, for 6 hours.

Remove chicken and shred the meat with two forks. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker.

Cook on High with the lid slightly off to allow juices to evaporate and sauce to condense, about 2 hours.
