Marinara Chicken

Here is an extremely easy chicken dish that you can make in the crockpot.  I first heard about this from HickChickWA, and the dish originally comes from A Year of Slow Cooking.  This chicken will only taste as good as the marinara sauce you use, so use a good one.  I used Newman's Own Organic.  Homemade would be even better.  I also used frozen chicken breasts, and stirred in some fresh basil before serving.  We had this with thin, whole wheat spaghetti noodles.

Place frozen chicken into crockpot and top with marinara sauce.  Cook on LOW for about 8 hours, or on HIGH for 4 hours.  Turn off the heat, and stir in basil.  Serve over hot cooked pasta.  Garnish with shredded cheese.  Serves 3-4.
