Easy Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore

Contributing post from Kayla @ Time Redone

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.

Easy Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore


  • Author: Kelly McNelis
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

Cook fresh or freeze to cook later. Serve with spaghetti noodles and parmesan cheese. To knock it out of the park, add a side salad and a fresh toasted baguette.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 24 ounce jar spaghetti sauce (I like tomato and basil but feel free to use your favorite kind)
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning

Directions

  • Combine all ingredients in crock pot and cook on “low” setting for 6-8 hours or until chicken is cooked through and tender.

To Freeze and Cook Later

  • Label a gallon-sized plastic freezer bag with the name of the recipe, cooking instructions, and “use-by” date (which will be three months from the prep date).  Add all ingredients to your freezer bag, seal, and freeze.
  • When ready to eat, thaw overnight in refrigerator or in morning in water.  Add to crock pot and cook on “low” setting for 6-8 hours or until chicken is cooked through and tender.

Hi, I googled Italian seasoning, and this was the very first result: The main ingredients are basil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme. is it what you recommend? because I think I have to make it at home!

I have tried freezing zucchini and it just turns to mush, would recommend adding the day of the get a better flavour, otherwise a great recipe!
