Chicken Cacciatore Ingredients

Did you know there was a Chicken Cacciatore day?

It takes place on October 15th.

How to make Chicken Cacciatore in a slow cooker recipe

Prep and cut all the vegetables. Slice the three peppers into slices. The thinner the slices, the quicker they will soften. Slice the onions. Cut two carrots into strips.

Spray the slow cooker (affiliate) with nonstick spray to help the chicken cacciatore not stick during the cooking process.

Add tomato sauce

Then, add the tomato sauce (affiliate) first. Add parsley, basil, salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. If you want it a little spicy, add ⅛ teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

Add veggies, carrots, onions, peppers, and olives to the top of the tomato sauce (affiliate). Stir the food into the sauce. Add 1 cup of water if it looks too dry.

Lay the chicken thighs on top of the tomato sauce (affiliate) mix and press down into the sauce. Ensure the chicken thighs are covered with a little bit of tomato sauce (affiliate).

Slow-Cook the dish

Add the lid and cook in a slow cooker (affiliate) for 6 hours on low. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning. Stirring every hour or so works just fine.

Cook the gluten-free (or regular) pasta or rice twenty minutes before it finishes. Set aside.

After the slow cooker (affiliate) is finished, take it out and serve it on a bed of gluten-free pasta or rice if you want.

Finished Dish

Well, there you have it. It is super easy to make and super delicious! Try it for yourself and see. Below is the image after it was cooked.
