Slow-Cooker Chicken Cacciatore (Whole30 + Paleo)
Dec 13, 2025 02:13 PM
This Slow-Cooker Chicken Cacciatore came about on a whim.
I was right in the middle of doing the Whole30 when our friend Adrian came to stay with us. I wanted to make something delicious and hearty for dinner one night, and also something that our non-Whole30-doing visitor would enjoy.
I feel like every time Adrian came to visit us, I always made something Italian. Can’t really go wrong with Italian food, right?
I had a package of organic chicken thighs and legs in the fridge. I also had mushrooms. Plenty of fresh rosemary from the garden. Organic canned tomatoes and some bone broth.
I didn’t really want to spend the entire day in the kitchen, either. So Slow-Cooker Chicken Cacciatore it is!
