Your whole family is going to love this recipe for Easy Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore.  It’s delicious, healthy, and only requires six simple ingredients.

Here’s my personal take as a busy mom…you can’t go wrong with recipes that have less than 10 ingredients and can be prepped ahead of time. I totally give bonus points for healthy recipes with less ingredients. This delicious and family-friendly chicken cacciatore tops the charts with six simple ingredients and is a sure crowd pleaser.

I use a tomato and basil spaghetti sauce with mine and love the rich flavor of the sauce paired with the zucchini and pepper!  The veggies cook down with the sauce in the crock pot and make it extra flavorful and healthy.

Simply add all of the ingredients to your crock pot in the morning or assemble and freeze for a busy weeknight. This recipe freezes great and can be prepped in 10 minutes or less, so I’m including both options below.
