Pasta With Chicken Cacciatore Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN CACCIATORE PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Sprinkle chicken with 1 teaspoon salt. Heat oil in a wide, heavy, oven-safe pot over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, about 1 minute. Add chicken, skin sides down, and cook, turning once, until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat. Reduce heat to medium and cook pepper, onion, and garlic, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in oregano, thyme, tomato puree, water, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer. Return chicken to pot, return to a simmer, cover, and transfer to oven. Bake until chicken is tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a bowl and chill, uncovered, until cool enough to handle (20 minutes). Discard skin and bones. Pull meat into coarse shreds.
• Add chicken, beans, and vinegar to tomato mixture in pot and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in salted water according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Stir pasta into chicken mixture, thinning with pasta water as needed. Season with additional salt, if desired.

SPAGHETTI CACCIATORE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until browned, about 7 minutes. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons drippings from the pot.
• Add the mushrooms and red onion to the pot with the bacon and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, oregano and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 6 minutes.
• Add the spaghetti and reserved cooking water to the pot; cook, tossing, until coated, about 2 minutes. Add the parmesan, season with salt and toss. Drizzle each serving of pasta with the olive oil and top with parsley and more parmesan.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE PASTA

Steps:

• In a large heavy sauce pan, heat the olive oil on medium-low to medium heat and add chopped onions and shallots, cook approximately 2-3 minutes or until onions/shallots are clear and soft. Next, add garlic - continue to stir all and cook another 1-2 minutes longer to allow garlic to penetrate the oil and flavor to develop.
• Next add the prepared marinara sauce, chopped tomato, and can of crushed tomatoes, stir well and begin to add all dry seasonings. Continue to stir and allow sauce to begin bubbling. After sauce begins to bubble, stir in the red wine and add your Bay leaf. Next, add the shredded cooked chicken as well as the diced portobello, squash, & olives. Stir well and add the 1/2 teaspoon sugar, (this will help cut the acidity of the tomatoes and bring all flavors together nicely). Cover, and allow to cook for 10 minutes on simmer. You may want to check the consistency of the sauce to ensure it is not too thick, if so - add about 1/2 cup of water, though do so gradually and stir after each addition - you may or may not need that much water. If your sauce looks too thin, just take the lid off while the sauce is cooking on simmer to allow moisture to evaporate naturally. Of course the seasoned italian cook, (or chef) knows to taste the sauce to see if it is missing something, which you can then add what you think is missing. Salt & pepper to taste. Sauce can be left on Simmer for up to 30 minutes, as long as you check frequently and stir to ensure the bottom is not scorching. Serve with your favorite Al Dente Pasta, a good crusty bread (our favorite is Ciabatta), and of course use the best pecorino romano or locatelli cheese you can find & a glass of your favorite wine.
