This was okay, it didn't have much flavor, even though I added red pepper flakes. I think keeping the bacon in withe the liquid made it soggy and flavorless, next time I would sprinkle it on top of each serving while it's crispy. I think this recipe has a lot of potential to be great.

This was DELICIOUS! We did a slow cooker chicken cacciatori recipe a few weeks ago, and that came nowhere close to how good this was! I used boneless chicken breasts because that's what I had on hand. Had about 2.5 pounds, sliced up. Added in a ton of freshly minced garlic, because it never hurts to have more =) Served over a penne and rigatoni pasta mix. Topped w/ a tad bit of Parmesan cheese. This is definitely a keeper!

AWESOME! I will make this again and again! The addition of tomato paste added depth!

So delish! I followed the recipe with the exception of using dried herbs and canned tomato rather than fresh.

I lightly floured/seasoned chicken prior to browning and added garlic with the onions. Very good stuff !

This made me think of an Italian style Coq au Vin (perhaps because I used red wine). I served it with pasta and it was to die for! I did make a few substitutions based on what I had on hand: chicken legs with the skin removed, a large can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh, red wine instead of white, rosemary instead of basil. In addition, I added pepper and thickened the sauce a bit at the end. I froze the left overs, and they were just as delicious later.

Really good! I added garlic per prior reviewers' suggestions. I used dried (rehydrated) shitake mushrooms because I didn't have any fresh. Added 1 can of stewed tomatoes, chopped, because I only had a few fresh tomatoes on hand. Thickened sauce with a roux and served over rotini pasta. Great flavor!!

We didn't have any bacon on hand, so I did without. No fresh basil, but we had dried. We didn't have a whole chicken, so I used chicken breasts cut into strips. I did have 8 oz fresh baby bella mushrooms on hand. They were perfect for this. It was quite a hit.

Time I rated this one as I have used it many times - it is excellent - sometimes I have used both red and white wine in this depending what I have left over - either turns out equally well and I add a little crushed garlic - we love it - thank you.
