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 found that the cacciatore wasn't saucy enough maybe it needed more sauce I'm not sure that I would make it again.

this was really good and easy to make. i used boneless chicken breasts and they turned out so well. the sauce could of had a little more spice to it though

Excellent! The sauce needs to be thicker. I added some cornstarch at the end of the cooking time. Served over fettuccini instead of rice.

The prep time was really easy, and for a slow cooker meal it was quite tasty. The whole family enjoyed, even the picky kids!

Delicious even the next day!!! My kids would prefer the veggies run through the food processor so they wouldn't see them.

Made this yesterday and found it could use a bit more spice as it was a little bland. We used part chicken breasts and thighs. We served it with cooked brown rice, so found the extra juice very good with the rice. I think I will try adding some salsa sauce next time to spice it up.
