Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore

This easy classic Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore is made with chicken, onions, garlic, mushrooms, green peppers, tomato paste and spaghetti sauce and a delightful sprinkling of herbs all slow cooked in a crock pot until tender and served over thin spaghetti.

This classic Italian dish is a small batch recipe for two and makes a great weeknight dinner or romantic date night meal.

You can use either boneless breasts or thighs and the chicken can be frozen. If you like your veggies more crisp try adding them in at the last hour or two of cooking time.
