Chicken Cacciatore: The Crock Pot Way

With the hubs and I constantly working and on the go, I love finding meals that are delicious and take no time to cook when I get home. We love going out to dinner with just the two of us and especially with friends. Its fun to try new restaurants... plus fast and convenient because then we don't have to cook. On the other hand, it gets SO expensive and really makes a dent in your checkbook! When we got married, we got a crock-pot (not just 1 but 6) Yes I know...6!! Lately have been really trying to get a lot of use out it. I found this recipe on Pinterest and had to add it to my "I have to try that" list.
