CHICKEN CACCIATORE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Liberally season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
• In a 4-quart jumbo cooker, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 3-4 minutes a side, until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate.
• Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet before adding the mushrooms. Lightly season with salt and pepper, and cook until mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Once browned, remove mushrooms to the same dish with the reserved chicken thighs.
• Add the final tablespoon of olive oil followed by the sliced onion and pepper. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat until they begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
• Create a well in the middle of the onion-pepper mixture and add the tomato paste. Cook out the tomato paste for about 1 minute before mixing it together with the onions and peppers.
• Add garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and rosemary. Mix them into the onion and peppers before adding the red wine. Use the moisture from the red wine to scrape off any stuck-on bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Let wine reduce by half before adding the diced tomatoes and chicken stock. Return to a simmer.
• Place chicken and mushrooms on top of the simmering sauce, being sure to also add any accumulated juices that may have collected. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
• Cook while covered for 12 minutes or until chicken's internal temperature reaches 165˚F (75˚C).
• Serve chicken and sauce with a side of pasta or bread.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE WITH WINE

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken well and pat dry with paper towels.
• Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
• In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, heat 2 T olive oil.
• Working in batches to avoid overcrowding of the pan, add the chicken and brown on all (3) sides, 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. NOTE: Properly browned & seared chicken ensures that the red wine will not seep into the chicken and discolor the breast meat.
• Add the remaining 2 T of olive oil.
• Add the onions and saute' until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms and bell peppers and saute' until slightly softened, 3-4 minutes longer.
• Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
• Pour the red wine into the pan. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
• Add the tomatoes with their juices, tomato paste, parsley, basil and oregano.
• Season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Reduce the heat to med-low and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Add the reserved chicken along with any accumulated juices back into the pan. Cover and braise, reduce heat to the lowest setting & simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through and opaque in color. About 20 minutes. I usually flip the breast over to ensure that the meat is cook through & through. NOTE: depending on the size of the breasts, this may take longer. Do not cover, the sauce will turn out very watery. If it becomes too thick, you need to add a bit some chicken stock or water.
• Add the vinegar and olives. Cook until the olives are heated through, about 3 minutes.
• Taste and adjust seasoning.
• At this point I like to debone & remove the skin to make it easier to eat at the table.
• Serve in warmed shallow bowls over white rice. Enjoy.
