Chicken Cacciatore Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Gather all the ingredients and prepare the vegetables by slicing and chopping as necessary.

2. 2

   Cook the Pancetta

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy. Remove the pancetta and set aside, leaving the fat in the skillet.

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, green bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

4. 4

   Cook the Chicken

   Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the chicken breasts. Season with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

5. 5

   Add Tomatoes and Stock

   Add the crushed tomatoes and veal stock to the skillet. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

6. 6

   Cook the Pasta

   Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti or ziti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

7. 7

   Combine and Serve

   Once the chicken is cooked, return the pancetta to the skillet and stir. Serve the chicken cacciatore over the cooked pasta and garnish with chopped parsley.
