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)

  1. This was a good slow cooker recipe … I did add extra herbs because that’s what I do but it was delicious … Thanx

    1. I am so happy to hear you loved it Summer 🙂

  2. Hi – I will be trying this recipe for the first time as it sounds delicious and I know the kids will love it. If I am using frozen chicken thighs – how long should I cook it for on low?
    Thanks!

    1. Hey Cherie! I have not used frozen for this recipe, But would shoot for 7.5 to 8 hours. I would recommend defrosting your chicken first if possible though.

  3. Always Shortcut says:

    With recipes like this, I always use frozen meat because I leave the house at 7am and I get home at 5pm. that adds a little extra moisture and i cook it on low for 8 hrs. then my crockpot switches to warm until we get home. When it was done, we shredded the chicken in the sauce and added garlic salt to boost the flavor. Loved this recipe. there are not as many with thighs that don’t go asian with soysauce or teriyaki. thank you!

  4. This is such a wonderful recipe. I’ve made it twice for my husband with chicken breasts and now I want to make it with faux chicken for me. I don’t change a thing. The recipe is perfect.

  5. I was looking at the chicken cacciatore and wondered if I could double the recipe. I have 6 adults in the house. Thanks
