Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown but not fully cooked. Transfer them to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened. Add these vegetables to the crock pot.
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices), tomato sauce, and chicken broth over the chicken and vegetables.
Add the oregano, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Once done, taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Serve the Chicken Cacciatore over whole-grain pasta, rice, or with a side of steamed vegetables. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
