crockpot chicken caccitore

hi guys! DH and i made something tonight that i had to post about
theres a recipe for chicken cacciatore that we love, but its kind of a pain to make, so last night we decided to throw all the ingredients in teh crock pot and see what happened... and it came out really good, i hvae to say!!
its a little on the spicy side, and its more like a stew, so it would probably be great with some pasta...
take about 1-1 1/2 pounds of chicken breast
about a tablespoon of balsalmic vinegar
some olive oil
crushed red pepper flakes ( to desired spiciyness)
one onion chopped up
one bell pepper chopped up
one cubanelle ( spicy) pepper chopped up
28 oz can of diced tomatoes
about a tablespoon of chopped garlic
about 1/4 cup of water

throw it all in the crockpot with the chicken on the bottoom and cook on low for 8 hours.. when its done, stir it up and the chicken willl shred up so its more like a stew... tastes pretty good! again, a little spicy, but good

Re: crockpot chicken caccitore

This looks good. Thanks for the recipe.

Re: crockpot chicken caccitore

Sounds delicious! I never heard of Cubanelle

Re: crockpot chicken caccitore

I wrote it down, maybe we will try it next week. I will let you know what we think. Do you think it will taste funny without the cubinella pepper? I have kiddies, they aren't into spicy foods.

Re: crockpot chicken caccitore

I think I will try this over rice or egg noodles. I am going to leave out that one spicy pepper though.

Re: crockpot chicken caccitore

I am making this for dinner tonight...it is in the crock pot right now...I didn't use the odd pepper though and I used chicken broth instead of water...I hope it turns out YUMMY!!!! I will let you know what we think....

Re: crockpot chicken caccitore

I just ate some of this and it is so good. I used rotini noodles....my daughter's request, and it was absolutely delish (I would use egg noodles or rice though). I have been searching for a yummy chicken cacciatore recipe for along time I think I just found one. I can't wait to make it for someone other than my family!!!! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!!!!1
