Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore

Only 2 WW PP & WW SP and just 5 Net Carbs and it doesn’t get any easier than this comfort food.  You basically just toss everything into the slow cooker and let it cook for the next 8 hours.   I served ours over Roasted Spaghetti Squash but you could serve it over whole wheat pasta or even rice.  There are only three of us, so we had left overs to eat the next day.  My husband suggested adding kalamata olives which I thought was a brilliant idea …. yum, they really added another dimension!
