Chicken Cacciatore

My Mom made chicken cacciatore quite often. I think that I have made it exactly once or twice.

The main reason why I don't make it: My Husband hates it.

This Valentine's Day we had heart shaped ravioli for dinner and so since I had to make sauce and I had a chicken to make, I decided to go for it.

We had 2 lovely NY Strip Steaks, so I knew my Husband was covered in regard to meat.

I made a cauliflower casserole, and so the meal was complete.

We are learning that if you want to cook something in the crock pot, you might like to brown it first in a fry pan.

So that is what I did. dredge the chicken in flour and fry all sides to get rid of the chicken fat.

I put salt, pepper and Italian spices into the flour mixture, to give it some flavor and to thicken the sauce in the pot.

I probably should have added a bit more flour, because it came out watery, as usual.

It did not take much time to cook on high, maybe 3 hours total.

It came out fall apart good.
