Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore Recipe | 5DollarDinners.com

Delightful.

That’s how I’d best describe this slow cooker meal.

It takes minutes to throw together.

Slice the peppers. Then slice the onions.

Add chicken to slow cooker. Season.

Top with peppers and onions.

Douse with crushed tomatoes.

Add seasoning.

Slow cook the day away.

“Fancy recipes” of chicken cacciatore call for mushrooms and cooking wine, but I left those out. 🙂

Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore Recipe-4

Delightful.

 

We enjoyed this with dinner rolls, but would also be great with a side of crunchy pasta or garlic spaghetti. Or even over rice (if you’re GF!).

 

This is one of those meals that I’ll make on a day when I know we’ll be at the pool all afternoon and I need a delicious meal to serve the boys. Hope you enjoy this delightful summer slow cooker meal!
