Emeril's Chicken Cacciatore
Emeril Lagasse's Slow-Cooker Recipe Challenge

Emeril Lagasse shared his slow-cooked recipe for Chicken Cacciatore with "Good Morning America."
Ingredients
Cooking Directions
Season the chicken on both sides with 1 teaspoon of the salt, the black pepper, and Essence. Dredge lightly in 1/4 cup of the flour.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet and, when hot, cook the chicken thighs until golden on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes.
Transfer thighs to the slow cooker. To the same skillet add the onions, mushrooms and red pepper flakes, and cook until softened and lightly caramelized, 4 to 6 minutes.
Add the garlic, oregano, rosemary, bay leaf and remaining 2 tablespoons flour and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, wine, tomato paste, and remaining salt, and stir to combine. Transfer to the slow cooker, cover and cook until chicken is fork-tender, 4 to 4 1/2 hours on high.
Stir in the basil and adjust seasoning if necessary. Let sit on warm for 10 minutes, then serve over cooked pasta, garnished with Parmesan cheese if desired.
