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

I’m with you on the crock pot cooking. It just makes life so much easier and tasty!
Crock pot dinners are the best – such a savior for working families!
This is one of my favorite dishes in the world! So flavorful!!! Thanks for sharing!
I love that the recipe is so easy – blend, pour, forget about it. I’ve never actually cooked bone in chicken in a slow cooker before. Sounds like a great idea.
I love meals that are ready when I get home from work!! If I can remember to put everything in the slow cooker before I leave, that is 😉
I haven’t had chicken cacciatore in a very long time. I love that you made it in a slow cooker and can’t wait to try it soon.
Jen, it’s amazing what a slow cooker can put together!

This is great for making on a budget, but if you’re flat broke, you have to call it chicken caccia tori spelling.
