Vintage recipe for chicken cacciatore made in the slow cooker! Serve this on a bed of rice!

I also have a pork cacciatore recipe you may like too! Whether you use chicken or pork, you will enjoy this!

Hello! I have the vintage slow cooker recipe of the month here today. This chicken cacciatore recipe is something my mom made often growing up. She did not own a slow cooker though, I converted this recipe to fit my style of cooking in the slow cooker.

Below you will see the original recipe my mom owned. Years ago she had her tattered magazine ad recipe laminated, and she gave it to me. I am glad to have it so I can recreate the recipe she made for my family growing up.

I made a few small changes to the recipe. I love boneless skinless chicken thighs, they don’t need browning and they don’t make sauces greasy as skin-on chicken does. I also added bell pepper, I remember my mom always had that in her sauce.

broth, seasonings, diced tomatoes, onion and bell pepper on a wooden table.

Below is what the dish looks like after being cooked on high for 4 hours. Though I do think 8 hours on low will do fine as well.

I only serve this over rice, but you can serve on noodles. Rice soaks up the sauce nicely.

My other favorite Italian Style recipe for the crockpot:

  • Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Pasta
  • Slow Cooker Pork Chop Cacciatore
  • Slow Cooker Baked Spaghetti
  • Slow Cooker Italian Beef Roast

      This finished picture looks very watery to me. I have always seen thick sauce after it’s done. McCormick used to have an Italian Crockpot Chicken Recipe that was delicious. They do not make it anymore that I can find but it didn’t come out watery. I am trying to figure out what to do to make it like that. Maybe leave out the broth? Thanks

      Mega ditto on the nutritional content. I do periodic meals for my brother & sil & he is on a low sodium regime, due to heart problems. Just found your website, but so far have copied several recipes. It would be very helpful to see nutrition info.

        Hi Pam! I add the nutritional info to my new recipes. It takes about a half hour per recipe, I have not had time to update the old recipes yet (I have about 400 recipes). Sorry for the inconvenience!

      Same question as above-how do you think boneless chicken breasts would work?

      Can I use boneless chicken breasts in this recipe, or a combination of both?
