This savory one-pot meal is a breeze to make thanks to the inclusion of store bought marinara sauce. After 15 quick minutes of chopping vegetables, just toss the ingredients in a slow cooker, set it and come home to a warming, satisfying meal. If you cannot find Cubanelle peppers, a slightly hotter variety, Anaheim peppers can be used. If you are looking for a milder option use common green bell peppers. Serve this easy chicken dish over steamed rice, if desired. Mixed greens tossed with sliced cucumbers and a light balsamic vinaigrette makes a crunchy cool accompaniment for this dish.
