How to Make A Super Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore
- In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts), a few pieces at a time, and toss to coat evenly in the flour mixture.
- Place the coated chicken pieces in the slow cooker stoneware.
- Add 1 large onion, chopped; 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced; 2 stalks celery, chopped; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes; 15 oz jar pasta sauce; 1/2 cup dry red wine; 1 bay leaf; and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. If using chicken breasts, check for doneness after 4 hours on low or 2 hours on high.
- Remove and discard the bay leaf.
- Serve over spaghetti or with roasted potatoes, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese to taste.
- Yield: 6-8 servings
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
