I have to say that I {heart} my crock pot in the summer.  I love the fact that I don’t have to heat my house up, but I can still have a warm home-cooked meal ready for dinner. 

This is a recipe that is so super easy and simple.  I just threw it together one day and I have to say, I think it is divine!  I hope you enjoy it too.

 

{Easy Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore}

 Here is your list of ingredients: 

1-2 chicken breasts

1 packet of Spaghetti Sauce mix (I love the cheap brand the best!),

1- 8oz can of tomato sauce

olive oil

water

(Feel free to double this if you have a larger family.  Or if you want more sauce, you can double everything but the chicken.)

First off, spray your crock pot with a non-stick spray.  Then  add the spaghetti sauce mix, the tomato sauce, 1 1/2 cans full of water, and about 2 tbls. of olive oil.  Stir together. 

 Add your chicken.  I usually throw in frozen chicken, cause let’s be honest, who has time to thaw things?  Cook this on high for about 3-4 hours and on low 6-7.   (I usually cook mine on high and it still turns out so moist and tasty.)

After about 3 hours, or when the chicken is cooked through, I will pull my chicken.  This will help the flavors seep into more of the chicken making it super yummy.  After it is pulled, cook if for about 30 mins-1 hour longer.

Cook some spaghetti noodles and serve your Chicken Cacciatore over top.  I like to sprinkle some fresh parmesan cheese over top.  This is a yummy alternative to regular old spaghetti.

Enjoy!
