Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cut-up whole chicken (3 to 3 1/2 lb), skin removed
1/3 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium green bell pepper
2 medium onions
1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, undrained
1 jar (4.5 oz) sliced mushrooms, drained
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
1/4 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Grated Parmesan cheese

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.

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.

I'm allergic to mushrooms, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious!

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not a huge fan of chicken cacciatore, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The sauce was flavorful and the chicken was cooked well.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add a bit of red wine and some chopped mushrooms to the sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly and my chicken turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could use more seasoning.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I like to add a few chopped carrots and celery to the sauce for extra veggies.

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.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is amazing. I like to add a little bit of red wine to the sauce for extra flavor.

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
