Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatori

I found this recipe from a fellow What's Cooking Nestie, Erica from Erica's Kitchen Adventures. I took her advice and spiced it up with some red pepper flakes. If you do not like it spicy I would omit it.

Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatori:

1/4 c flour

1/2 t salt

1 t dried Italian seasoning

1/4 t fresh ground pepper

3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (I used boneless skinless chicken breasts)

1 medium onion, chopped

8 oz mushrooms, sliced (I omitted)

2 stalks celery, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes, with juices

1 c pasta sauce or tomato sauce

2 T dry white wine1 bay leaf

1/4 c fresh chopped parsley

2 T freshly grated Parmesan

1-2 T crushed red pepper flakes

In a heavy plastic bag, combine flour, salt, Italian seasoning and pepper. In batches, add chicken pieces to flour mixture and toss to coat. Place chicken into slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on Low for 5 to 7 hours or on High for 2 1/5 to 4 hours, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a fork. Can be serve over pasta or rice and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese.
