Chicken Cacciatore Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic, sliced bell peppers, and mushrooms, stirring occasionally until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the Tomatoes and Spices

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes, red wine, dried oregano, and dried basil. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   Combine Chicken with Sauce

   Return the seared chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

5. 5

   Serve

   Once done, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Chicken Cacciatore over pasta or with crusty bread.
