Chicken is an extremely versatile food. Chicken in Tomato Sauce is a simple slow cooker recipe. It packs all the protein found in chicken and it is soaked in a delicious tomato sauce. The sauce is the star of the show since it is a mixture of garlic and capers for a savory treat.

Most of the time, recipes like these come by working with what ingredients you have. This happened when I didn’t have many ingredients at home for my weekly meal prep. Despite that, with a few chicken breasts, crushed tomatoes, and capers; I made an extremely tasty dish. Insert Chicken in Tomato Sauce!

Chicken is known for having a high protein content. Whether you eat thighs or breasts, chicken is loaded with complete proteins. Protein is a crucial macronutrient for recovery and muscle growth. Having enough protein helps preserve muscle mass. By preserving muscle mass we can get stronger in the gym and make more muscle.

Chicken in Tomato Sauce is certainly a paleo treat. Packs the protein as well as the flavor with the tomato sauce. The tomato will supply some potassium in addition to all that zestiness. If you are wondering, the macros for a 4 oz serving of the Chicken in Tomato Sauce is the following:

With a decent caloric content, Chicken in Tomato Sauce is excellent with some greens, spaghetti squash or some mushrooms. It should stay good for about 4 days. I also recommend doing half breast and half thighs. If you prefer to just use either one you can.

I hope that you enjoy!
