For a richer flavor, consider using a dry red wine like Chianti or Cabernet Sauvignon. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also be added for extra heat. Serve over your choice of pasta, creamy polenta, or crusty bread for soaking up the delicious sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
8 hrs
The night before cooking, layer ingredients into a slow cooker in the following order: chicken, wine, onion, bell peppers, garlic, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, diced tomatoes, sugar, and tomato sauce. Cover and place in the refrigerator so chicken can soak up the wine, 8 hours to overnight.
02
Step
6 hrs
The next morning, remove from the refrigerator and cook on Low, stirring occasionally, for 6 hours. Remove chicken and shred meat with 2 forks; return meat to the cooker.
03
Step
2 hrs
Cook on High with lid slightly off to allow juices to evaporate and sauce to condense, about 2 more hours.
