CHICKEN CACCIATORE IN A SLOW COOKER

Chicken Cacciatore in a Slow Cooker image

This is a very simple meal to make. You just throw everything in the crock pot and let it cook during the day. I like to serve this over thin spaghetti (especially garlic and herb thin spaghetti when I can find it).

Slow Cooker Chicken Tinga image

A spicy chicken and chile dish. A good friend of mine from Guadalajara who works hard to make this on the stove inspired me to make my own version in the slow cooker. Serve on tostada shells and garnish with chopped cilantro and onions.

Add the remaining peppers and onions, cover and any remaining lime juice.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours.
Remove chicken and cut/shred into slices (chicken left longer will tend to shred more - cook to your preference).
Return the sliced chicken to the slow cooker to marinate in the juices for about 10 more minutes (on LOW) until ready to serve.
