Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 250kcal
Equipment
- Slow Cooker 6 to 7 hours on low for this one, so it wants a cooker you can start and walk away from.
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.
