Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore
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.”
(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)

Delicious recipe. Your seasonings were just right. I added some mushrooms, and used a 28oz can of San Marzano tomatoes, which I broke up. I cooked the chicken for 3hrs on high and switched to low for about 1 & 1/2 hrs because my crockpot seems to run a little hot on high. The chicken was perfect and the sauce very flavorful! The aroma was amazing …could hardly wait to dig in! Thanks for this great recipe!
Looks awesome – have you ever thought to add quinoa and make it a one-pot meal? I’m wondering how much extra liquid I should add. Any thoughts/suggestions? Or just thought this would be great served over spaghetti squash. Can’t wait to try.
Can’t go wrong! Good over quinoa too!
We made this tonight, and it was delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Don’t want to be mean, but this recipe was not my cup of tea. Followed the recipe exactly and it lacked something for us.
I did my best to make it into something we could eat , so I added chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper. Spicy, chicken chili 🙂
Thank you anyways 🙂
Everyone is different right 🙂
