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. Cut the 3 peppers into slices. The thinner you cut the slices, the quicker it will soften. Slice the onions. Cut two carrots into strips.

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

Then, add the tomato sauce 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. 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 mix and press down into the sauce. Make sure the chicken thighs are covered with a little bit of tomato sauce.

Add the lid and cook in a slow cooker for 6 hours on low. Keep an eye on it to make sure it does not burn. Stirring every hour or so works just fine.

Twenty minutes before it finishes, cook the gluten free (or regular) pasta or rice. Set aside.
