This  Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore is so good. It is made with boneless chicken, mushrooms, onions and green peppers all in a spicy tomato sauce.

Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore

Being able to throw things in the slow cooker early in the day and forget about it till dinner time, makes life so much easier. Have you tried any of the other slow cooker meals that I have shared in the past? Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff or CrockPot Creamy Mushroom Chicken? Both are fantastic choices.

In the past the only times I had ever made chicken cacciatore it out of a jar. Chicken helper or something? You bought the sauce in a jar and added it to the chicken.

This time I was looking for a healthy homemade recipe that I could serve over low carb pasta. If you have not tried Thin Slim products yet, I highly recommend you do. We use the bread, the rolls, the pizza crusts, and the pasta. All of them have been a game-changer as far as eating low carb. 

Most of the recipes I found well looking were made with fresh or canned whole tomatoes. I’m not a fan, therefore I switched it up a little and used tomato sauce and tomato paste. In addition mushrooms, onions, green peppers, garlic, and boneless chicken all mixed with a few Italian seasonings.

How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore :

INGREDIENTS NEEDED

• Chicken (I used half breasts and half thighs-boneless skinless)
• Mushrooms (I used canned)
• Onion (I used yellow)
• Green Pepper
• Olive Oil
• Minced Garlic 
• Oregano
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Tomato  Sauce 
• Tomato Paste
• Pasta or Rice

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Although most of the meal is cooked in a slow cooker/crockpot – the chicken was seared and the veggies were browned in a skillet with olive oil.
2. Add Chicken and Veggies to Slow Cooker, ( use a liner or spray slow cooker insert with food release)
3. Pour Tomato Sauce and Tomato Paste over chicken. 
4. Stir in Oregano, Black Pepper, Salt and any other spices of choice
5. Set Slow Cooker on high for 4 hrs or low for 8 hrs

Serve with a Salad or a Side of Veggies. If you arent watching your carbs, garlic bread or breadsticks would be great.
