• 6 rj's note: i made this recipe on 9th of may 1998. i substituted the tomato paste with a large can of tomatoes that i put through the blender. the aroma of the chicken simmering in the crock pot sauce all day was fantastic. during the last ten minutes i added some frozen mixed chinese vegetables and served the cacciatore over home made pasta noodles (my first attempt at making pasta). i only used one teaspoon of oregano. next time i'll try two.
