Italian Chicken and Peppers (with zucchini noodles - crock pot)

This was fun, easy and healthy!

First I placed two chopped bell peppers and a yellow sweet onion in the bottom of my crock pot. I chose an orange and green bell pepper, but you can choose whatever color you prefer. Next, cube your chicken (about 1 lb) and add to your crock pot. Top with 1 can of diced tomatoes (drained) and 1 jar of marinara. I chose an Italian flavored marinara. Add 1 tablespoon oregano and let cook on low for 8 hours or high for  5.





To make the zucchini noodles I bought this awesome tool! (see below) You can find this at target or bed bath and beyond, maybe even walmart!  I used three zucchini for my noodles.

  You will want to saute on a low heat for about 5 minutes to soften the zucchini to give it more of the pasta taste. I actually quite enjoyed the flavor better than pasta and much healthier. Add your chicken pepper mixture on top and you are ready to go.



Ingredients:
1 lb of chicken
2 bell beppers
1 sweet onion
1 can diced tomatoes
1 jar marinara
1 tablespoon oregano
3 zucchini
1 tablespoon oregano
