Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore is a rustic Italian dish of braised chicken, peppers, and mushrooms slow-cooked in a luscious tomato sauce until the flavors perfectly meld together.
This easy recipe for chicken cacciatore in a Crock Pot is one of my all-time comfort foods and it’s all about the sauce. It starts with a combination of diced tomatoes and crushed tomatoes, then you add a mix of green and red peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms, and garlic.
All of that simmers, along with chicken thighs, for 4-6 hours in your slow cooker. When it is done, you have a delicious sauce and perfectly tender braised chicken.
The sauce takes on the flavors of the peppers, onions, olives, and garlic and becomes this rich, delicious sauce you’ll want to put on everything.
