Chicken Cacciatore

Scale

4 (7 ounce) raw bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (1¾ pounds total)

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 scallions, minced

1 small bell pepper, seeds and membranes removed, chopped

1 cup button mushrooms, halved

1 (15 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes

1 bay leaf

1 large zucchini (about 12 ounces), cut, sliced, or “spiralized” into noodle-like strands (should yield about 2½ cups zucchini “noodles”)

¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

¼ teaspoon each: salt and pepper

Combine chicken, garlic, scallions, bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, bay leaf, salt and pepper in a slow cooker. Set on low for 6-8 hours.

Right before serving, remove the bay leaf, stir in the zucchini noodles and basil, and mix thoroughly to combine.
