The combination of perfectly browned chicken and crisp-tender vegetables makes this a hearty family meal, especially when served on a bed of fettuccine. Based on a time-tested recipe, originally published in the Betty Crocker Cookbook, this slow-cooker version has all the flavor of its predecessor. The only difference is the method, which makes it hands-off and weeknight friendly. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook up a chicken, give this recipe a try.

Steps:
- Coat chicken with flour. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 15 to 20 minutes or until brown on all sides; drain.
- Cut bell pepper and onions crosswise in half; cut each half into fourths.
- In 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker, place half of the chicken pieces. Mix bell pepper, onions and remaining ingredients except cheese; spoon half of mixture over chicken. Add remaining chicken; top with remaining vegetable mixture.
- Cover; cook on Low heat setting 4 to 6 hours or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest piece is cut to bone (170°F for breasts; 180°F for thighs and legs). Serve with cheese. Note: This recipe was tested in slow cookers with heating elements in the side and bottom of the cooker, not in cookers that stand only on a heated base. For slow cookers with just a heated base, follow the manufacturer's directions for layering ingredients and choosing a temperature.

[email protected]I made this dish in a Dutch oven on the stovetop and it turned out great! I just browned the chicken and vegetables in the Dutch oven before adding the sauce and simmering.

[email protected]This was my first time making chicken cacciatore and it was a success! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

[email protected]This dish was so easy to make and it turned out delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it was cooked perfectly in the slow cooker. The sauce was flavorful and the chicken was moist and tender. I served it over pasta and it was a hit
