Herself's Recipes

I love this dish! And it is painless to make, just dump everything in the crock pot and cook it on low. When it’s done, boil up some pasta to serve with it.

4 Chicken thighs
1 14oz can diced tomatoes
1 6oz can tomato paste
1 1/2 cups water

sliced mushrooms ( ~ 8oz container )
sliced peppers ( ~ 2 or 3 each )
sliced onions ( 1 large )

garlic, one clove grated. Easy on the garlic the chicken will add a lot of flavor and spices become much stronger cooked in a crockpot.

I put it all in the crock pot, put the lid about half closed and cook on low several hours until the chicken is falling off the bones.

Serve with cooked pasta and grated parmesan or romano cheese.

Cacciatore means ‘hunter’s style’. This dish originated in the mid 1400s in central Italy.

I can’t date the paper my grandmother cut this out of, but on the back side is an add for a box of 24 Hershey Chocolate Bars for 85 cents.
