Chicken Cacciatore

If you haven't noticed, my crockpot has been working overtime lately! With so much going on, I really haven't been in the mood to cook meals in the evenings and I'm preparing for the arrival of our third little one and assuming once he arrives, I'll have to have plenty of good crockpot recipes on hand to get this crew fed!

Chicken Cacciatore

Ingredients:
-2 c marinara sauce
-1 onion, chopped
-garlic, chopped to your taste
-1 bell pepper, chopped
-4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
-2-3 carrots, chopped
-2 Tbs flour
-2 Tbs water
-Prepared quinoa or rice

1. Pour half of the marinara on the bottom of the crockpot. Then add all the veggies, garlic and chicken. Pour remaining marinara over the top.
2. Cook in crockpot for 6-7 hours on low.
3. Remove the chicken from crockpot and chop/shred it to your desired texture.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and water and stir the combined paste into the crockpot sauce. Cook on HIGH for 10-15 minutes until sauce has thickened.
5. Serve chicken and sauce from crockpot over a bed of cooked quinoa.
