Slow Cooker Showcase: Chicken Cacciatore

I have a lot of love for my slow cooker.  My crock pot.  It makes my life so much easier!!  Each Thursday during the Fall and Winter The Centsible Family will showcase a slow cooker (crock-pot) recipe that one of the Mavens of Money have tried and tasted. By sharing we hope you will be able to save a little time during the week as we all know saving time is just as valuable as saving money. And you will be able to enjoy a hot meal at the end of your day.
