Chicken Cacciatore

Contributed By: John in Bibs

This recipe will make 2 medium trays by weight*

Directions:

1. In a pan on your stove, brown your chicken breasts (it’s fine if they are not fully cooked)in a little olive oil, water, or chicken broth.
2. Place the browned chicken breasts on the bottom of your crockpot, top with your chopped vegetables, cover with your spaghetti sauce, and add your spices. 
3. Cook in the crockpot on low heat for about 8 hours. (If it is really runny you can add some freeze dried tomato powder or paste to help thicken it up) 
4. Shred the chicken. Then let it cool down. 
5. Spread on a silicone lined tray, and then using dividers set to six portions push down through the chicken cacciatore. Cover with a lid, and freeze until solid. 
6. Remove lids and Freeze Dry
7. Store Appropriately (See Tips and Tricks for storage help)
