Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore With Mushrooms And Bacon Recipes

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large non-tick skillet over medium high heat. Sear chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to slow cooker. Alternatively, if pressed for time, skip browning and add chicken straight to a 6 quart slow cooker.
• Add the garlic, onion, bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, dried basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme and salt and black pepper to taste. Stir to combine. **(Do not worry if the mixture looks dry, the tomatoes will release more liquid as this cooks - if you like this dish more saucy or soup-y - you can add 1/2 cup chicken broth or water)
• Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 4-6 hours.
• minutes prior to serving, stir in the olives, kale and corn starch / water slurry into the slow cooker and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes on HIGH, or until sauce thickens up slightly and kale is wilted.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley, basil leaves and taste and season with additional salt or black pepper, as needed.
• Serve hot over pasta, zucchini noodles, rice or your favorite sides and top with grated parmesan, if desired.
