This isn't really a recipe. It's a dinner that I did using leftovers once and now is a family favorite. I'd cooked some chicken breasts in the crockpot with some spaghetti sauce. The next day for lunch, wanting something different and the griddle was still out, I butter both sides of 2 slices of sourdough/french/italian bread - something like that - and toasted them both on the griddle. Then I put some of the partially shredded up leftover chicken, spaghetti sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese on it and made a sandwich. It was delicious. So that night I offered it up for dinner. Lots of thumbs up - except for Grace, of course. Last week I was trying to think of something for dinner that would be quick and easy to a degree because there were a million things going on almost every night. While at Walmart I cheated and grabbed a bag of frozen chicken breast tenders (not the breaded ones, just the regular ones). When I got home I dumped them in the crockpot with about half a large bottle (costco 2 pack size) of spaghetti. I think there were a dozen or so chicken pieces in there...Gave us enough for 2 dinners and some for the freezer...maybe there were more than a dozen pieces. Again - lots of thumbs up except from her royal highness. And told I was the best mom and cook ever...love that. To appease my 1 kidney and high blood pressure, I use no salt butter :) SO that makes it healthy. Anyway, I don't have a picture of this, they didn't last long enough. But it's simple, quick, not overly expensive..and you dont' have to toast the bread on a griddle - toaster worked well too :) And the crockpot does all the work...I had it on low for most of the time...and the chicken just fell apart - so nice and done and perfect.
