This easy Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore is 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 and when it is done you have a delicious sauce and perfectly tender braised chicken that has taken on the flavors of that sauce. Serve it over some creamy mashed potatoes or polenta, rice, or pasta and you have a complete meal!
Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore is one of my all-time favorite winter comfort foods. One of the best things about it is that it only gets better with time. That means you can make it on a Sunday and then have it for dinner Monday night and it will taste even better. It’s makes getting dinner on the table during the week even easier!
