Chicken Cacciatore

On tonights menu is Chicken Cacciatore.  The main reason that I am making it tonight was so I could break in my new Crock-Pot that I got for christmas. The recipe goes as follows:
1-2 Large Onions thinly sliced
2-4 Pounds of chicken breast or thighs (I used thighs cause they are like 100000x better)
28 oz canned diced tomatoes
5 Cloves of garlic, minced
Salt
Pepper
1/2 cup white wine or broth (I used broth because I couldn't buy the wine)
20 Kalamata Olives pitted and coarsely chopped
2 tbsp Capers
1 Bunch of Parsley or Basil
Cooked Pasta

1. Layer the onions on the bottom of your crock pot and place the chicken on top.
2. Mix together the tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper and broth and pour on top of the chicken.
3. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4.
4. When done cooking, mix in capers, olives and parsley or basil.
5. Serve on top of pasta.

After dinner was finished and we had all eaten their fill, here are some of my thoughts on this particular meal.  It wasn't my most favorite dish of all time though if I do make it again I will have to experiment with somethings. I am sorry for a lack of pictures for this dish, I totally forgot to take them.  I will definitely remember for next Thursdays dinner!
