A Super Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore

This came from a slow cooker family recipe book and uses lots of things you probably have in the pantry and fridge already.it is prepared hunter style which means it is slowly cooked in a tomato sauce seasoned with onions and herbs. You can serve it over spaghetti or with roasted potatoes. We serve it over spaghetti for a great adult entree. Our kids loved it too and ate it happily. It is so much more than a spaghetti sauce. Not as sweet and oh so good. If you substitute breasts for thighs check on it earlier than outer cooking time as they dry faster. You will enjoy this. Picky eaters will too. Serve it for a leisurely family dinner or a quick weeknight meal. Enjoy chefdlh.
