Slow cooker chicken cacciatore

This is low-and-slow cooking at its best. Cacciatora or hunter-style, indicates the type of food Italian hunters would typically eat after getting home from a long morning in the countryside. These dishes traditionally combine meat and broth with onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes; bell peppers and wine are optional. The sweetness and punch of onion rounds out the dish. Throw it all in a slow cooker and you’ll end up with tender, fragrant meat, melting vegetables, and an intense broth, perfect for a warming weeknight meal. Serve this stew with some crusty bread or over steamed rice to capture every ounce of the broth's deep flavour. The olives add a bright and briny addition but can be left out if you prefer. Sprinkle some fresh parsley over your bowls for a clean finish and pop of colour.
