Easy Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore Meal
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs skinless and bone-in (or 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts)
- salt and pepper to taste (I use 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper)
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 4 oz mushrooms sliced
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes 1 can
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic or 3 cloves
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1/2 cup pitted olives (I use Kalamata olives, but you can use green or black olives)
- 1/2 cup cooking wine (you can also use red wine or white wine)
- fresh herbs parsley or basil, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker, overlapping only as much as necessary.
- Top with onions, peppers, mushrooms, crushed tomatoes, garlic, oregano, olives and wine. Give it a quick stir.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165°F (74°C). You can also cook it on HIGH for 2-3 hours. (Boneless chicken breasts need 3 hours on Low or 1 ½-2 hours on High.)
- When the chicken is done cooking, transfer to a serving platter and cover with aluminum foil.
- Optional: You can thicken the sauce by adding the mixture of 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water to the crock pot. Cover and cook on high for 15 minutes. (To thicken faster, cook it in a skillet on medium heat for 3-5 minutes.)
- Taste the sauce and add more salt if desired.
- Serve on top of pasta and spoon extra sauce over the chicken. Garnish with optional parsley or herbs of your choice.
Notes
- To make it spicy, add ½-1 teaspoon of red chili flakes to the sauce.
- Pasta not included in nutritional info.
