Crock Pot Cacciatore

This crock pot cacciatore is simple to make and packed with flavor. As a bonus, it makes your house smell great as it simmers away! I know I put Cattle Drive on chicken but that’s ok - there’s no rules here. Those flavors go great with any protein and pair up with the Italian booster to make some magic!
