Cooking Know-How

Taking the lid off your slow cooker for even just a minute reduces the heat and extends the cooking time. Lift the lid only if instructed to do so in the recipe.

I loved this dish! So easy to make, full of flavour! I added club house italiano spice along with boneless chicken thighs, sausages and a few carrots! Served with roasted potatoes! Yummy!

Easy enough to make...very lacking in the flavour department. My hubby eats almost everything and never says anything...this one he barely touched!

I followed the recipe and although it made plenty the flavor was extremely bland thankfully a few splashes of bbq sauce made it bearable.

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and less dressing to cut calories and it turned out delicious

This was horrid. Way too liquidy and flavourless. We fished out the cooked chicken to try and use it in other pre-cooked chicken recipes and threw away the tomato water.

Incredibly easy and so delicious! Due to time constraints I made it in a large saucepan on stove-top and simmered on low for an hour!

I made this for the first time - it was our 1st anniversary! - yesterday and it turned out wonderful!! I didn't find the sauce watery at all, maybe it depends on the brand of crushed tomatoes? anyhow, I did use canned mushrooms and I left them whole because my husband does not like them, so he could just take them out, and I found the canned mushrooms added a bit more flavour. It was a total hit at our house!! try it!!

All these cacciatore seem very Americanized. This is the only one that seems more like a cacciatore except it should be white meat.
