    Chicken Cacciatore may not be a traditional slow cooker dish, but this adapted version is not only delicious but easy to make and perfect for a simple family meal!

    Chicken Cacciatore is a hearty, traditional Italian meal that originated in Tuscany. Loving hands prepared it by slow-roasting meat the hunters brought home ("Cacciatore" literally means "hunter.") and then adding veggies such as tomatoes, onions, and peppers to the dish.

    Making Chicken Cacciatore in a slow cooker may not be as authentic as Tuscan-style, but it certainly holds its own. With this recipe, you can have a quick and easy meal on the table that's also healthy and delicious.

    Chicken Cacciatore is a versatile dish that can be adjusted to meet whatever your family's diatery needs are. It's low in sugar and can be served over polenta to remain a low-carb meal. It can also be served over rice or pasta for those who's diets are a bit more forgiving. You can also use low-sodium tomatoes and salt-free seasonings to make it heart healthy
