In a microwave-safe bowl combine the onion, garlic, 1 1/2 tsp oil, thyme and red pepper flakes. Microwave for 3-4 minutes, stirring every minute or so. Transfer mixture to the slow cooker. Add in the broth, vinegar and tapioca to the slow cooker. Salt and pepper the chicken and place in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours. Break up chicken into large pieces with 2 forks. Add in the tomatoes, red pepper, Parmesan cheese and cooked spaghetti and stir. Microwave the broccoli with remaining oil (1 1/2 tsp) for about 3-4 minutes, stir every minute. Stir broccoli into the slow cooker. Cover and cook for another hour and then serve. Makes 4 servings.
Review:
Beautiful colors, light, and flavorful. The red pepper adds a little kick to it. A little runny but still yummalicious. 4 stars
