Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 28 oz crushed tomatoes 1 can
  • 1 bell pepper sliced
  • 1 onion medium, sliced
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • fresh basil or parsley for serving

Instructions

  • Load the crockpot: Add the chicken, crushed tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender (165°F) and falls apart easily.
  • Finish: Stir in the red wine vinegar, taste for salt, and serve topped with fresh basil or parsley.

Notes

Red wine vinegar stirred in at the end substitutes for the wine a stovetop cacciatore would use, added off the cook so the brightness doesn't cook away.
