Slow Cooker Pork Chop Cacciatore is a twist on the classic chicken cacciatore recipe!
Table of Contents
Did you know that you can make caccaitore with pork instead of chicken? I was mind blown when I saw it the other day when I was searching around for recipe ideas. This recipe is based on my classic Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore recipe, which I use boneless skinless chicken thighs in that recipe. My recipe is based on my mom’s recipe.
I did brown the chops for this recipe, some say browning the meat adds more flavor to the sauce and overall dish. Below is a photo before I slow cooked the recipe.
Here is what the pork chop cacciatore looks like after 6 hours on low.
This pork and sauce are great over rice or pasta! Or even on its own with just vegetables. I hope you have a great weekend. I’ll be back next week with more recipes.
