Many readers have been asking us for quite some time to share recipes with less portions. So I have been on the lookout for recipes that are easy to make for two and then double or triple for larger families. This recipe for Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore is an altered version of a recipe from a cookbook called The Complete Slow Cooking for Two. You might recall that we mentioned this cookbook in our slow cooker cookbook buyer’s guide.
Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore
- We used a 4 quart slow cooker for this recipe.
- Chicken skin does not crisp up in the slow cooker. If you don’t like the texture of slow cooked chicken skin, you can either remove it before cooking, after cooking or place your chicken on a cookie sheet and briefly broil your chicken to crisp up the skin after slow cooking.
- You can also use 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs or 2 chicken breasts instead of the quarters, however, cooking times will vary.
- This dish would be nice over cooked pasta.

- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
