Chicken and Fresh Tomato Slow Cooker Stew

5 potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 ½ cups chopped fresh tomato

1 cup sliced carrot

1 onion, chopped

2 bay leaves

3 large skinless boneless chicken breast halves

2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce

1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth

1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

water, as needed

Combine the potatoes, tomato, carrot, onion, and bay leaves in a slow cooker. Place the chicken breasts atop the vegetables. Stir the tomato sauce, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning in a bowl; pour over the chicken breasts. Add water as needed to assure the chicken is completely covered. Cook on Low for 6 hours. Remove the chicken breasts and cut into bite sized chunks and return to slow cooker. Continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, another 1 to 2 hours.
