Slow-Cooker Chicken Cacciatore with Spaghetti Recipe

This take on chicken cacciatore is cooked low and slow to yield maximum flavor with minimal effort. You’ll just need 20 minutes in the kitchen to prep the vibrant, hearty sauce, and then simply let it simmer at home for 8 hours. Once the sauce simmers in the slow cooker, all that’s left to do is cook a pound of pasta, and serve.

Fast Skillet Chicken Cacciatore Recipe

Lean chicken breasts cook quickly--in just 15 minutes compared to the hour-long braise in most cacciatore recipes. If you'd like more heat in the sauce, kick up the crushed red pepper to 1/2 teaspoon.

"New School" Chicken Cacciatore Recipe

We prefer whole cut-up chicken for this dish. Make the braise ahead, and reheat it the next day; it will taste even better.
