Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore Drumsticks

This is a large recipe. You will need a 7 quart slow cooker to cook all this yumminess!

Ingredients:

Topping:

24 chicken drumsticks

4 tsps smoked paprika

2 tsps dry oregano

1 tsp dry basil

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Sauce:

1/2 cup tomato paste

2 - 28 oz cans diced tomatoes

2 tbsps smoked paprika

2 tsps dry oregano

1 tsp dry basil

1 1/2 tsps salt

2 red onions, thinly sliced

2 bell peppers, diced

1/2 - 1 cup stuffed green olives (optional)

Combine the topping ingredients and coat all the drumsticks. Then, in the slow cooker crockpot, mix all the sauce ingredients and nestle the drumsticks in. You will probably need to layer them and that's ok as long as they are mostly covered in sauce.

Place the onions, bell peppers and olives (if using) on top. Cover and set on low for 6 hours. (You can see here just how full this 7 quart crock is!)

And it's ready to serve with your favourite rice or pasta!

Serves 10

(The leftover sauce can be boiled down for a hearty pasta sauce too!)
