Ingredients

8 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 5 ounces each) (If you are concerned about cooking from frozen, you can always fully defrost your chicken before starting this recipe.)

Cooked spaghetti, pasta or zucchini noodles for serving (if desired)

Ideal slow cooker size: 4-Quart.
