I am feeling 10x better and now of course all I am craving are veggies and fruits! This week I'm working some pretty long hours so I wanted to make my "Slow -Cooker Chicken Catcciatore". It's easy fresh, full of flavour and will definitely aid in some much needed quick weight loss! I really wanted to showcase and take advantage of the beautiful Autumn veggies that are readily available at any grocery store..or even better most farmers market. this dish feeds like 6 people and will cost you under 10 bucks!
I will be serving it over my ribbons of Zucchini and Summer squash. The trick to the ribbons is poaching them in chicken broth rather than regular water. It helps mellow out the flavor and really can be a surprising replacement for pasta.
This best part about this dish is you literally throw everything in the slow cooker before you leave for work and when you get home its done. Italian food is best when its been slow cooked. You really allow the flavours to marry and the meat to become tender and just fall apart. Then when you get home it's simply a matter of poaching the ribbons and serving!
The best approach to this dish is prep everything the night before and then just throw everything in and your off to work! Enjoy!
