Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore

Serves 8

I was always happy when Mom made chicken cacciatore for dinner. We would eat it over pasta with lots of freshly grated cheese on top. Now, whenever I make this dish, I always think of my mom. Since the sauce is hearty and chunky, it’s perfect to make in the slow cooker. While any part of the chicken works great, I prefer to use skinless chicken thighs that are still on the bone. The chicken comes out so juicy and tender, and the bones add flavor to the sauce. I find that when you make this without the bone, the meat tends to be dry. Once the sauce is cooked, I remove the chicken from the bone and shred it, so you get chicken in every bite.

Recipe

Season the chicken with the salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray, add the chicken, and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a slow cooker.

Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium and coat with more cooking spray. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker and add the tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, thyme, oregano, and bay leaf. Stir to combine.

Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.

Discard the bay leaf and transfer the chicken to a large plate. Pull the chicken meat from the bones (discard the bones), shred the meat, and return it to the sauce. Stir in the parsley. If desired, serve topped with Romano or Parmesan.

Per serving 1 cup.

Perfect Pairings

This is great over whole wheat or gluten-free spaghetti (DeLallo is my favorite brand), as well as rice or polenta. For a low-carb option, serve it over spaghetti squash (see page 266).

Ingredients:

  • 8 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (about 5 ounces each), fat trimmed
  • 3⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Cooking spray or oil mister
  • 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1⁄2 large onion, chopped
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes (I like Tuttorosso)
  • 1⁄2 medium red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1⁄2 medium green bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 ounces sliced shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 sprig of fresh thyme
  • 1 sprig of fresh oregano
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Freshly grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Introduction

I cook because I love to eat. I’m not talking about just good-for-you foods like salads and quinoa—although, yes, those are great. The foods I crave range from classic comfort dishes to global cuisine, and everything in between. At the same time, I try to eat a light and balanced diet, and these two things don’t necessarily go together. That’s what led me to start experimenting in my own kitchen eight years ago. I wanted to find ways to eat the foods I craved, but without throwing off all of my hard work to lose weight and keep it off. Plus, as a mom, I had to find a way to please not only my palate, but my picky family’s preferences as well, because cooking separate meals is just not an option for me. The results of those experiments ultimately became my blog Skinnytaste.com, and later inspired my first cookbook, The Skinnytaste Cookbook.

My mission with my first cookbook was to help people create low-calorie food without sacrificing flavor. I also wanted to help take away some of the fear and intimidation that people—especially beginners—feel about cooking. I was thrilled that the book was received so well—thanks to loyal Skinnytaste fans and so many others, it was a bestseller. What a dream come true! But, as I talked with people about the book, I kept fielding similar questions: “Are the recipes easy?” and “Are the recipes fast? I don’t have time to cook.” At the same time, I was receiving emails and Facebook requests for more superquick weeknight ideas, as well as recipes for the slow cooker. With all of this feedback, I knew exactly what my next book should be about.

Skinnytaste Fast and Slow is filled with two types of recipes: quick and easy dishes that are ready in 30 minutes or less, and those that are made in a slow cooker. With this book, no matter how busy you are, you can enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal. Tasty, light, and time-saving! I want everything in these pages to help simplify your life, because I totally get it—I understand the stress of having to come up with healthy meals the whole family will enjoy on a limited time schedule. Talk about pressure!
 
TAKE A TASTE
In this book, you’ll find 140 recipes that are light on calories and packed with nutrients and satisfying flavors, while being simple enough to make anytime. Many of these dishes are versions of the comfort foods I loved during my childhood, and others are my current favorites. All of them have been simplified and skinny-fied, so they slim your waistline and fit into your busy schedule. I’ve spent a year testing and tweaking everything here, and I learned a lot along the way (you’d be amazed what you can make in a slow cooker . . . hello, brownies [see page 296]!). I hope that as you flip through this book, you’ll discover that you can enjoy great taste and good health, even when time is tight.

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Serves 6

All the flavors you love from Buffalo wings, without all those darn calories—it’s time to get your fingers dirty! I love making shredded Buffalo chicken in the slow cooker because it’s super easy and so versatile. I use leftovers on sandwiches, over salads, as tacos, and in just about anything I can think up.

CHICKEN
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 medium celery stalk
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth*
1/2 cup cayenne pepper sauce (I like Frank’s RedHot Original), plus more for serving
 
BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
6 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk
1⁄4 cup light mayonnaise
5 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons chopped scallion, white parts only
1⁄8 teaspoon garlic powder
1⁄8 teaspoon onion powder
 
1⁄8 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1⁄8 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
12 outer lettuce leaves, such as green leaf, red leaf, or iceberg
3⁄4 cup shredded carrots

*Read the label to be sure this product is gluten-free.

1. For the chicken: In a slow cooker, arrange the chicken, celery, onion, and garlic. Pour in enough broth to cover the chicken (add water if the broth isn’t enough).

2. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.

3. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and discard the liquid and vegetables. Shred the chicken with 2 forks and return it to the slow cooker. Add the hot sauce and cook on high for 30 minutes.

4. For the blue cheese dressing: In a blender, combine the buttermilk, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of the blue cheese, the scallion whites, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons blue cheese.

5. To serve, put 2 lettuce leaves on each of 6 plates. Place a generous 1⁄4 cup chicken on each leaf, top each with 1 tablespoon shredded carrots, 1 tablespoon celery, and 1 tablespoon of the dressing.

So far, this is a total winner for my family and I. In under a week, I have managed to do 5 recipes from this book, and they were all wonderful. I love that Gina put pictures of most of the recipes. That is a big deal for my husband!. He needs to visualize what the meal will look like before we make it. I also have her first book which is totally awesome as well. The only thing I find is missing is the prep time and cook times. I always love to see those close to the title. But that is the only thing I would want her to change. The book is full of amazingly delicious meals that are quite healthy.

I have two of Gina Homolka's cookbooks, and she never disappoints. I like the eclectic collection of various food types and flavours. There are great choices, the recipes are easy to follow and (for the most part) the ingredients are easily found at the supermarket. I've made 4 or 5 recipes for this slow cooker cookbook and they've all been winners. I cooked the Lamb Ragu for my friends, and we all raved about it. The soups are also very tasty. I've had repeated requests from my family for the oatmeal. I would never have thought to make oatmeal in a slowcooker, but it really is very good.
If you're looking for healthy, delicious, well-rounded meals, I'd definitely recommend this cookbook. The author even provides the calorie counts and nutritional information per dish, so it takes the guess-work out, if you are counting calories.

I just received this book a week ago and dove in to mark all the recipes I wanted to try. When I finished half the pages were marked with post it notes. I meal planned (first time in over a year) for a week of healthy delicious dinners and lunches. So far everything has tasted amazing and was easy to prep. Three prepped meals and a weeks worth of lunches took about 1.5 hours. Easy peasy and the week the done!

It is filled with recipe after recipe that I want to make, ingredients aren't hard to find, and what I have made (which was 3 different recipes last week) has been delicious and full of flavor, my husband loves it too and he's hard to impress. There are a wide variety of recipes to choose from, from Mexican to Italian to Filipino and everything in between. And it's all good for you! Can't wait to make more recipes from this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tasty recipes for meal prepping!
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2019

Uses: I am a busy professional and I use this book for meal prep. I use all 3 of her books actually but this is my favorite one. I mark my calendar on Friday afternoons w/what I am going to make that weekend or following week for dinner, depending. Usually have 8-10 weekends indicated in advance. Use this to make quick list before going to the market. Always pick one recipe from this cookbook [preferably a slow cooker one], and one recipe from her other cookbooks. Make one recipe on Sunday [lunch for the week for me] and one recipe on my household dinner day [if serves 6 or more, tend to have leftovers, or just double the recipe to make sure have leftovers, cook once eat twice]. For slow cooking during the week, prep it in a slow cooker after dinner night before. Use a slow cooker liner. Put prepped SC insert into the fridge. In the morning take it out put it in the slow cooker, put on low and go.

Pros: Recipes are delicious, great for prepping ahead. Love the detail on how to portion recipes for proper meal prep & weight management. Haven’t had a bad meal since using this. Really appreciate the volume of lower calorie but high protein choices. All very tasty and easy to make.

Cons: This recipe book [as with all recipes in my opinion], do not account for prepping in their timing. If it says takes 30 min, I assume 45 min to include 15 min of prep.

Note: I have found the pre-cooking before slow cooking to be more of a suggestion for me... I am sure it enhances the flavor of the recipes... I have no doubt it is well tested & makes dishes even more delicious...but ain't got no time for that. So if it's the cacciatore recipe mentioned above, if the ingredient goes in the slow cooker for the full cooking time, I just dump it in at the beginning. No sautéing garlic & onion ahead, or the meat. As a regular slower cooker user, if it's raw beef, turkey, or lamb for ex. I just cook it longer [try to not do more than 10 hours if possible]. If it's chicken, I cook it about the time suggested, maybe a little less if it's breast. Just tends to dry out. Chicken SC recipe great choice for Sunday afternoon cooking for me. Dairy as a general SC rule goes at the end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Noch besser als der Vorgänger
Reviewed in Germany on May 20, 2018

Das neue Buch von Homolka ist noch besser als ihr Erstwerk.
Wir haben nun nach einem Jahr nahezu alle Gerichte mindestens einmal, die meisten sogar mehrmals gekocht.
Sie sind insgesamt nochmals deutlich raffinierter und besser ausgearbeitet, präziser bei Mengen und Geschmackskomposition.
Dennoch wird der erfahrene Koch/Köchin vll. an der ein oder anderen Stellschraube drehen, um seinen/ihren persönlichen Geschmack besser zu treffen.
Im Buch enthalten sind jetzt auch so genannte „weekly dinner plans“, die so abgestimmt sind, dass weniger verschiedene Zutaten gekauft werden müssen, Reste werden an den darauf folgenden Tagen eingeplant oder für spätere Verwendung eingefroren. Diese Pläne gab es bisher nur online, auf ihrer Website sind noch viele mehr zu finden.
Wir haben uns tatsächlich angewöhnt, nun Wochenweise komplett auszuplanen und einzukaufen, haben auch in der Arbeit immer großartige Gerichte und Snacks dabei, auf die die Kollegen meist neidvoll blicken, während sie ihr Supermarktsandwich oder das „Kantinenmeisterwerk“ hinunter würgen. Positiver Nebeneffekt: Am Ende des Monats bleibt deutlich mehr Geld im Beutel, da nahezu nichts im Müll landet bzw. keine verarbeiteten Gerichte zugekauft werden müssen.
Einmal die Woche plant Homolka einen „Dinner Out“ Tag ein, an dem Abends geschlemmt werden darf, was man möchte. Wir nutzen das oft für den Besuch im Restaurant, auch ein Döner oder das Brathendl darf ruhig sein.
Fazit: Noch „g’schmackiger“, raffinierter und durchdachter als das erste Buch, tolle Hilfestellungen für die Mahlzeitenplanung eines ganzen Monats (!), sehr viele Gerichte mit Fleisch, für Vegetarier bedingt geeignet.
