Chicken Cacciatore Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Sear the Chicken

   In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell peppers. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3. 3

   Add Liquids and Seasoning

   Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices), chicken broth, and red wine. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

4. 4

   Combine and Simmer

   Return the seared chicken to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.

5. 5

   Finish with Fresh Herbs

   Once cooked, stir in the chopped fresh basil. Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve hot.
