Crockpot Italian Chicken

Italian food is my comfort food, hands down. The best part of this chicken recipe is all of the different ways you can use it: serve it over pasta, over veggie spirals, over rice, in sandwiches or on top of pizza! However you use it, it's an easy make ahead recipe that you can use multiple ways (see below) and really simplify your week night cooking routine.
