Chicken Cacciatore Recipe

Chicken Cacciatore Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and brown them in the skillet, skin-side down, for about 5-7 minutes until golden. Flip and brown the other side for another 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the sliced bell peppers and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.

3. 3

   Combine Ingredients

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes and red wine (if using). Add the oregano, basil, and stir to combine. Return the browned chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 30-35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the chicken cacciatore hot, spooning the sauce and vegetables over the chicken. Enjoy with roasted red potatoes.
