Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore

dicentra's Note:

I adapted this from “The Unwatched Pot”. It freezes very well. I add mushrooms when I reheat it. It makes lots of sauce, so it is nice over rice or noodles. If you use chicken with bones in it, cool and de-bone the chicken after cooking and then return to the stew.

Easy and good! This is my sole opinion because the husband is away, one son is sick and didn't try it and the other really only wanted the bow-tie pasta I made with it. I didn't add the butter and used chicken without the skin. Thanks!

I made this on Sunday and watched football. The smell was just wonderful. The missus loved it. The flavor was great. It was just a little runny but I served it over rice and everything was just great. I did not take the chicken from the bone and it was good. I think I will add the mushrooms next time. That shoulb be good. Thanks for the recipe dicentra. You done GOOD.
