Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore Recipe

For those of you that have read my past posts, you know that I am currently in a love affair with my crock pot.  Partly because of the ease of prep but mainly because dinner is ready when I walk through the door.

So while I was at the store the other day, I noticed that whole chicken legs and thighs were on sale.  I was able to pick up 5 pounds of chicken for a little over $4.00.  How could I pass that deal up?  I knew that I could use 3 pounds of it for one meal and still have enough left to use for another meal.

As I stood in the store it was a no brainer that I was going to buy the chicken, but I wasn’t sure what to do with it.  Although I love chicken, sometimes it can get boring and repetitive.  Then a flashback hit me.  When I was growing up, my mom would make a wonderful chicken cacciatore, or as I called it as a kid kitchen cacciatore.  With a little thought and a few additional ingredients from the pantry, I was able to put together this Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore Recipe.  Prep time was low, only having to chop up an onion and green pepper, everything else gets dumped into a bowl, mixed together and dumped on top of the chicken.  It really couldn’t be any easier.  So, if you have 5 minutes in the morning, you can have a wonderful meal in the evening.  Go ahead and start a love affair with your crock pot and give this recipe a try. Enjoy! -Scott
