Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 3 to 4 lbs chicken thighs bone-in, skin-on
- salt sea salt
- black pepper
- paprika
- 1 yellow onion chopped, large
- 2 bell pepper colors of choice
- 2 carrot chopped, large
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 crushed tomatoes 28-ounce can
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup white wine optional**
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Sprinkle both sides of the chicken thighs with paprika, sea salt and pepper.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over high on the stove top. Wait for a few minutes for the skillet to heat up until it is sizzling hot.
- Place the chicken thighs (or chicken pieces) in the skillet, skin-side down and allow them to brown 3 to 5 minutes per side (or 5-10 minutes total). If the skin becomes too dark too quickly, you can reduce the heat to medium-high heat. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to do this step in two batches. I can fit all of eight thighs in my 12-inch nonstick skillet.
- While the chicken is browning, add the chopped onion, bell peppers, garlic and carrots to the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Transfer the browned chicken to your slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients (crushed tomatoes, broth, and wine). Season everything well with sea salt before giving everything a big stir.
- Secure the lid on your crock pot and cook on Low heat for 8 to 10 hours, or High heat for 4 to 6 hours.
- When the chicken cacciatore is ready, taste the mixture for flavor and add more sea salt to your personal taste.
- Serve chicken cacciatore with your choice of rustic bread, pasta noodles, white rice, or brown rice. For a low-carb option, serve over zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, or cauliflower rice.
Notes
