Made this for dinner tonight. It was super easy and so tasty! I browned the thighs off before adding to the slow cooker, which only took about five minutes and added to the flavour. Will definitely make again. (I should add that I’m super fussy with meat and used thighs reluctantly, but the skin and bones were really easy to remove once cooked and the thigh meat was tasty!)

When something has to be changed to where it’s a different recipe to have decent flavor, it’s no good. I always follow most of the instructions the first time I make a dish, then I usually doctor it if it’s decent/has potential. It you make this according to the recipe, it will be watery, and the chicken skin will be rubbery and the whole thing having little flavor. I did sear the chicken first since I couldn’t think to cook it in a crock pot without doing that. My whole family said this was the worst dish I’ve made and we threw it out.

I just made this recipe. We used frozen chicken breasts instead of the thighs and didn't use the capers or the red pepper flakes. I also put a can of diced tomatoes in so that it was a bit chunkier with the veggies. We used the little red, orange, and yellow sweet peppers, but probably put it a few too many. Ha. It was pretty delicious, and we will make it again. Very simple and easy recipe to make.

i had outpatient surgery today, so I started this in my crockpot before we went to the hospital.  I made it using chicken breasts and without capers since I didn’t have any. When I got home it smelled really good! The chicken was so nice and tender.  The crushed red peppers gave it a nice bite!  I’ve saved  this recipe to my Pinterest page - this recipe is definitely a keeper!
i would really have loved to see nutritional info for this recipe.

I made this tonight for our Halloween supper.  I think it’s a good basic recipe that you can tweak to your tastes.  I did brown my chicken before I put it in the crockpot because I was starting later and wanted to develop flavor.  I also sliced an onion that I put in the bottom of the slow cooker.  My husband remembers onion being in chicken cacciatore, so I put it in.  I can’t tolerate red pepper flakes, so I didn’t put that in, but my husband added it to his dish.  
I DID NOT put in the chicken broth, but I did put in a tsp of chicken “Better than Bullion.” I think that helped keep the sauce from being too liquidy.  I never remember chicken cacciatore having a thick sauce.  My sauce tonight was just right.  

Don’t forget the capers because they really add something nice to the dish.  And Parmesan, too!

Made this for my wife...she loved it.  It was so easy and tasted delicious.   Adding this to my repertoire.

I added a can of rotel, some extra mushrooms and sweet peas instead of capers. Shredded the chicken and put back into the sauce, then served over linguine. Turned out great, very healthy and tasty.

Just made this meal. I substituted chicken breasts. This is one of my favorite meals now. Quick and easy.

I made this for dinner tonight and it smells amazingly delicious! I would have taken a picture but I couldn't figure out how to post it! I'm putting it over angel hair.

It won't let me post two pictures so here's the other one before I poured it in with the noodles

I followed the recipe exactly as it was written except I substituted six drumsticks for the thighs.  The dish had a lot different flavors.  My wife and I gave this dish a ten.
