Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore Recipe served over pasta, on a white plate

This weekend, my Mother-in-Law invited us to a fun indoor garden exhibit. This would leave me away from the kitchen for most of the day, so I thought this would be the perfect time to try out a new Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore recipe I had been working on.

When we arrived home, the house smelled amazing! The girls and I couldn’t wait to try this yummy meal. (What about poor Darryl? Don’t worry. I made a vegetarian version for my hubby using his Morningstar Chikin Strips)

We all really loved this one, and I immediately filed it under  Family Favorites. The girls kept referring to this meal as the best spaghetti and meatballs.

Big D: “This is delish spaghetti and meatballs Mom!”
Me: ” It’s called Chicken Cacciatore.”
Big D: ” What a great name for REALLY GOOD spaghetti and meatballs.”
Great family dinner

(NOTE: The second time I made this, I only had chicken breasts on hand and that also tasted great! The vegetarian Morningstar Chikin Strips worked great for vegetarian option)

  2. I’m going to try this today, my husband Daryl (funny we’re Kori and Daryl also) has been craving a chicken and pasta dinner!!

    1. Hahaha! That is too funny Kori! Love it 🙂 Hope you both love the Chicken Cacciatore 🙂 XO

    2. I’m actually making this today…. looks so good. I’m cooking it for 4 hrs… the only thing I’m concerned with is the chicken…. put it in with other ingredients uncooked?

    3. Yep! I hope you love it 🙂

    4. Can I double this recipe? Serving 12.

    5. Yes you can 🙂 Just make sure you are using a 6 qt crockpot.

    1. Sweet! I hope you love it Kathryn! XO

  4. I’m making this tonight! I’m so excited, it looks great!

    1. I can’t wait to hear how you like it Brittany! XO

  5. This looks great! Put it in the crock this morning. I am a vegetarian and my family is not. How do you prep this dish for both? Do you just spoon some over the morning star strips or use a tiny crock? Just curious. Thanks.

    1. I actually have 2 crockpots just for this purpose…..so I can cook both at the same time. If you don’t have 2, I like your idea of spoon some of the sauce over the strips. If possible, you want to try to cook the strips in the sauce for a bit. So you could also put some in a small pot and simmer, covered for 15 minutes to get some of the flavor infused into the veggie meat.
