Crock Pot Chicken Caccitaore


Source: adapted from skinnytaste.com

Time:10 minutes prep + 9 hours cooking
Servings: 8

Ingredients:
8 chicken thighs (I used boneless, skinless)
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 red pepper, sliced
1 green pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 tsp ground oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 bay leaf
salt & pepper to taste
2 T flour

Directions:
1. Season chicken generously with salt and pepper. Place in bottom of crock pot.
2. Pour tomatoes over chicken. Top with onions and peppers.
3. Add oregano, garlic power, bay leaf, salt and pepper.
4. Stir a bit and cook on low for 8 hours.
5. When 8 hours are up, or when you get home if you're like me, remove the lid, add flour, stir to break up chicken and cook on HIGH to thicken sauce for 1 hour or until you're ready to eat. Also during this time taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper to taste. Don't be afraid to season!

Verdict:
I served this over linguine with a little shredded parmesan on top. It was super yummy. I think the key is seasoning. When it first finished cooking on low i tasted it and it was a little bland. I ended up adding a good deal of salt and pepper and it was much more flavorful. Super easy and really yummy!
