Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 28 oz Crushed tomatoes
- 1 piece Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 piece Green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 piece Yellow onion, sliced
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz Sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Dry red wine
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 servings Cooked pasta, rice, or crusty bread (for serving)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken thighs on both sides until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side, then set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a crock pot, add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, red wine, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine.
Layer the browned chicken thighs into the crock pot, followed by the sautéed vegetables, sliced bell peppers, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Gently mix to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Once done, taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If the sauce is too thin, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking to let it thicken slightly.
Serve the chicken cacciatore over cooked pasta, rice, or with crusty bread. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!
