Welcome!

I don't know how most of you feel, but I have decided that my menu needs a little more variety. So, in search of new delightful dishes to try, I thought it would be fun to start a recipe swap. I hope you'll take the time to share some of your favorites, and maybe find a few new ones to add to your own collection!

Chicken Cacciatore

Easy Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore
Found this on http://thecraftingchicks.com/.  Loved it!


Ingredients:

1-2 chicken breasts
1 packet of Spaghetti Sauce mix (I love the cheap brand the best!),
1- 8oz can of tomato sauce
olive oil
water
(You can double this if you have a larger family.  Or if you want more sauce, you can double everything but the chicken.)

Note: As a super simple alternative, just combine the chicken and some pre-made spaghetti sauce. 

Directions:
Spray your crock pot with a non-stick spray.  Combine the spaghetti sauce mix, the tomato sauce, 1 1/2 cans full of water, and about 2 tbls. of olive oil.  Stir together. 

Add your chicken.  Frozen chicken works great! Cook this on high for about 3-4 hours, or on low for 6-7 hours.   (I usually cook mine on high and it still turns out so moist and tasty.)

After about 3 hours, or when the chicken is cooked through, separate or pull the chicken.  This will help the flavors seep into more of the chicken making it super yummy.  After it is pulled, cook if for about 30 mins-1 hour longer.

Cook some spaghetti noodles (whole grain noodles are great with this recipe) and serve your Chicken Cacciatore over top.  You can sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top.  This is a yummy alternative to regular old spaghetti.
