Pepperoni Chicken Fra Diavolo

This was such an quick and easy dish to make.  I put everything in the crock pot for about 4 hours on low, took 10 minutes to cook up some pasta and viola.........dinner.

Adjust amounts to your own cooking method:

2 jars of Paul Newman's Fra Diavolo Sauce
4 Boneless Chicken breasts
1- 2 Cups of sliced Pepperoni

Stir and let cook up until the chicken is done through at least but all day in a crock pot if needed.
The sauce just gets better and better cooked slow with the chicken and pepperoni flavors.

About an hour before serving, I adding in a sliced Zucchini to make it a complete meal.


I served this with refrigerator biscuits that I buttered with Earth Balance Vegetable spread and some garlic salt and sesame seeds on top.  Perfect weeknight meal and even better warmed up the next day.

If you can't find the Paul Newman's, just take your favorite spaghetti sauce and add a little heat to it.  Red Pepper flakes, or other.  You could also change this up to a vegetarian version using fried Tofu although I'm not sure it would hold up to the crock pot method.

Anyone have a quick recipe they love for those nights when you just want a good meal without having to think about it?
