This is a recipe that I got from my stepmother. She made it one time when we were up visiting. My boys loved it and it’s really easy to make.

I love this one because I almost always have all of these items on hand. Then, if I find myself without a meal idea, I can defrost the chicken during the day and quick make this for dinner.
Author:
Recipe type: easy, frugal
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4

Ingredients
  • ¾ cup Bisquick (I have used Panko bread crumbs instead)
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¾ cup ranch dressing
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1¼ lb)
  • Or a 1 lb package of chicken tenders, boneless & skinless
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 cups frozen corn (I just use one box of the Green Giant)

Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 425°
  2. Spray 13×9-inch pan with cooking spray
  3. In dish, mix Bisquick and pepper.
  4. In another dish, pour ½ cup of the dressing
  5. Coat chicken with dressing, then coat with Bisquick mixture, pressing so coating sticks to chicken.
  6. Place in pan.
  7. Drizzle with melted butter.
  8. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until juices are clear.
  9. Cook corn as directed on box.
  10. When it’s finished, mix with remaining ranch and spoon on top of the chicken.

Notes
I had this at my parents’ house once and came home and did it myself. It’s easy and my kids like it.

What’s in the Crock Pot? Chicken Cacciatore

February 20, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
I just got a new cookbook from my mom. It’s an inside joke but the name of the cookbook is Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook (NYM Series). I haven’t cooked from it yet but it is my new favorite cookbook. In fact, my goal is to make 1-2 recipes from it per week.  This week  I am making Chicken Cacciatore. If I don’t have time to make pasta with my new pasta maker, I will use a box of whole grain pasta.

Chicken Cacciatore(from Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook)

1 – 16 ounce jar marinara sauce or 2 cups homemade – I’m using homemade tomato sauce from my freezer
1 medium yellow onion, cut in half then sliced
1-3 cloves garlic, minced – I say 3 all the way!
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1.5 inch chunks
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs and 4 drumsticks, skin removed (I am cubing 4 chicken breasts instead)
6 ounces fresh mushrooms, quartered – skip if you don’t like
2 T. all purpose flour
2 T. water (opt.)
2 T. dry white wine (opt.)

Layer half the sauce,and all the onion, garlic, peppers, and chicken in the slow cooker.

Sprinkle mushrooms on top.

Add remaining half of sauce.

Slow cook time:

Low – 6-7 hours
High – 2.5-3 hours

Remove chicken and place on serving platter.

If you want a thicker sauce, whisk together flour, water and wine until smooth.

Stir into the sauce in cooker.

Turn cooker to HIGH and cook until thick – 10-15 minutes.

Pour sauce and vegetables over chicken and serve.

Cover with remaining sauce.

I will update this post with my review of it but there is no way it isn’t going to be good so go ahead and add it to your menu! Plus, look how easy I made it for you to turn into a grocery list.
