Elise’s Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore
With a bowl of pasta, this hearty slow cooker dish of chicken, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms in a red wine tomato broth will fill you up.
Set a slow cooker to high heat.
In a big bowl, combine the tomatoes, wine, chicken stock, tomato paste, and chicken bouillon.
When necessary, trim the chicken, then top with an Italian herb mixture.
Over low heat, a skillet is heating up with olive oil.
Cook chicken breasts for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until browned.
Add the chicken, along with any accumulated juices, to the slow cooker.
Add more olive oil, if necessary, to the skillet along with the bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and garlic.
About 5 minutes of stirring and cooking will make the onion translucent.
Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are soft.
Add tomato mixture and heat through.
Simmer for an additional five minutes or until slightly thickened.
Add the olives and stir the mixture in the slow cooker.
