This chicken cacciatore recipe is simple—it’s just chicken simmered with onions, bell peppers and mushrooms in a robust tomato sauce. But the ingredients combine to create a rustic stew with hearty, rich, complex flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
Dust the chicken with flour, and season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown the chicken on all sides in oil and butter over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken to a platter. Editor’s Tip: Even if you can fit all the chicken pieces into the skillet, it’s better to work in batches. If there isn't enough room between the pieces, the chicken will steam instead of brown and caramelize.
In the same skillet, cook and stir the onion, celery, pepper and mushrooms for five minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, wine, thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, garlic and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Serve the chicken and sauce with Parmesan cheese and hot pasta.
