- 2 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skinless)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 small Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium Carrot, sliced
- 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (canned)
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, and sear them in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, red bell pepper, and carrot for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables and the browned chicken thighs to the crock pot.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, white wine, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, basil, and crushed red pepper flakes, if using, to the crock pot.
Gently stir everything to combine and ensure the chicken is submerged in the sauce.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the Chicken Cacciatore over cooked pasta or with crusty bread and garnished with fresh parsley.
