Easy Chicken Cacciatore Crockpot Recipe

Chicken cacciatore is a classic Italian chicken casserole recipe, containing tomatoes and mushrooms, as well as a selection of fragrant herbs. The word "cacciatore" means hunter in Italian. Traditional Italian cacciatore recipes are made with chicken or rabbit. This chicken crockpot recipe is versatile. You can cook it slowly in eight hours or on a higher heat for half of that time.

Cooking in a crockpot, or slow cooker, means the flavors have time to mingle and blend really well and the chicken is so tender that it is literally falling apart. Crockpot recipes turn out just as well as baked recipes and in fact, some have superior results. It is well worth investing in a crockpot because there are thousands of crockpot recipes to choose from. This chicken crockpot recipe uses celery seed for flavor. Celery seed, also called lovage, is the seed of wild celery, most of which is grown in India. It is strong so is usually used sparingly in boneless chicken recipes and other recipes.
