Crockpot Chicken Puttanesca Pepper Sauce Recipe
Crockpot Chicken Puttanesca Pepper Sauce is a delicious sauce with fresh plum tomatoes and pitted Kalamata olives. I have to say sometimes crock pot cooking even astounds me, this recipe was so much like old fashioned stove top I was over joyed by the results. Next time I would serve this wonderful sauce and chicken over a favorite pasta.
This sauce is super special when made with the best olive oil you can buy. Fresh herbs, spices and the olive oil enhances the flavors in this slow cooked sauce. The anchovies and fresh tomatoes just puts it over the top. Sometimes I add just a splash or Merlot wine to make it just a little deeper in color and flavors.
