Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore (Kraft Recipe Makers)

Whenever I ask readers what kinds of recipes they would like to see more of on this little ol’ blog of mine, most of them respond with “Easy dinner recipes, please. You can never have enough of those!” And that is the gospel truth, is it not? Even for those of us who adore cooking and baking and wish we could spend the afternoon creating gourmet cupcakes, at the end of the day, dinner time is staring us all right in the face and it’s usually accompanied with many hungry mouths to feed. Every night. As sure as the sky is blue or gray or heavy laden with rain clouds. Dinner time is within its very presence. Kraft Foods has been known to work wonders in the Easy Dinner department. I am happy to be introducing you today to their newest quick dinner solution. They have recently come out with a product titled Recipe Makers.

Each Recipe Makers box comes with two sauces and three different recipe ideas that use the sauces. The idea being that with two sauces, recipes can be made to taste better due to the many layers of flavors that are incorporated. The sauces are combined with fresh ingredients from your kitchen to create a wonderful, balanced meal. I made this Chicken Cacciatore the other night and my family loved it. I ended up making a couple of additions to the original recipe, as you will see below. Let me show you how to make it happen!

How many ingredients on the box are things you have no experience with and can hardly pronounce? Umm….I think we can do better with ‘real’ food.

Jamie, I think you are fantastic. You have helped me feed my family MANY delicious meals. I don’t know why people feel the need to make negative comments about recipes. If you don’t like it…move on. Lots of other food blogs out there. My family loves you for all the great meals we have had so, thanks for all of your hard work.

You tell um Christie! Your advice Joyce should have been given with kindness. Didn’t your mom teach you to be nice! Your valid point would have been appreciated if you had of used intelligent kind words. By the way your idea of real is being snippy so I think the food you are eating is bad for you!
