Easy Kid Friendly Recipes

Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore

Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore

In winter days like these cozying up to a warm Italian meal at dinner time sounds perfect.  But for people like myself, a plateful of pasta is hard to stomach.  Don’t get me wrong- I have been known to have my fair share of pasta. Unless I’m planning on a two hour plus ride on my bike the next day my guilt factor kicks in big time. Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore is a healthier alternative to enjoy the flavors of Italy-guilt free.

To get my craving fix of Italian cuisine my go to is one of my family favorites- Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore.  This easy set it and forget it meal hits all the highlights- tomatoes, flavorful peppers, garlic, red wine and some oregano slow cooked to perfection.

I love whipping this up first thing in the morning when my afternoon kids activity schedule is on the fritz.   A little burst of morning motivation and my family will have something fabulously yummy to look forward to after a hectic day.  And the bonus- you’re getting your mama checklist done while dinner is simmering down to perfection.

Just give the chicken a little salt and pepper, toss it in a pan with olive oil to brown.  Then the magic begins.  The smell of pepper, onions, and garlic sauteing will make your mouth start to water.  Add a little wine, tomatoes, and oregano and give your chicken something to season in. Bam! Dinner is done. The hardest part is waiting for all the fantastic flavors to cook down so you can enjoy your flavorful Italian feast.
