Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore

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)
