With its nicely seasoned tomato sauce, this enticing chicken entree is especially good over pasta or rice.

Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker.

In a bowl, combine the broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, green pepper, onion, garlic and seasonings; pour over chicken.

Pour cooking juice into a large saucepan; skim fat.
