Ingredients
- 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs (about 2 lb. total)
- 2 medium green sweet peppers, thinly sliced
- ½ tsp dried rosemary, crushed
- 1 cup bottled spaghetti sauce
- ½ cup coarsely chopped pitted Kalamata olives
- 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (4 oz.)
- ¼ cup snipped fresh basil
- 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 slices whole grain Italian bread
- Apple slices (optional)
How to Make It
- Lightly coat a 3-½- or 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 2 minutes or until lightly browned on both sides, turning once.
- Place sweet peppers in slow cooker. Top with chicken. Sprinkle with rosemary. Pour spaghetti sauce over chicken.
- Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6-½ to 7 hours or on high-heat setting for 3-¼ to 3-½ hours.
- Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil; set aside. Using a slotted spoon, transfer peppers and chicken to a medium bowl, reserving cooking juices. Using two forks, pull chicken apart into coarse shreds. Add olives to chicken. In a small bowl combine mozzarella cheese, basil, and Parmesan cheese.
- Place bread on prepared baking sheet. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until toasted. Turn over bread slices. Top each slice with some of the chicken mixture; drizzle each with about 1 Tbsp. of the cooking juices. Sprinkle each with cheese mixture. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes more or until toasted and cheese is melted. If desired, serve with apple.
