Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore

Sharing is caring!

I love my crock pot. It saves me so much time and money. If you haven’t seen my series about prepping your meals and freezing them to be cooked in the crock pot – you are missing a great time and money saver! You would not believe how much less stress I have at dinner time.

I just dump the bag of ingredients into the crock pot in the morning and dinner is done! Another bonus – there is LESS MESS to clean up!!

This recipe is one of my favorites. It’s a little different than your typical Chicken caciatore. My whole family loves it!

Make this a freezer meal: Add all the ingredients (except the potatoes) to a freezer bag. Write a note on the bag to add the potatoes and cook on high for 4-5 hours and low for 7-8 hours.
