Classic Chicken Cacciatore
A hearty Italian favorite loaded with tender chicken, savory vegetables, and rich tomato sauce! Perfect for a cozy dinner.
Ingredients
6 bone-in chicken thighs or breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, sliced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup dry red wine (optional)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
Brown the chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large pot or skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
Sauté the veggies: In the same pot, add onions, garlic, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Cook until soft and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
Build the sauce: Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, wine (optional), oregano, and basil. Bring to a simmer.
Simmer with chicken: Return the chicken to the pot, nestling it into the sauce. Cover and simmer on low heat for 30–35 minutes until the chicken is tender.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy with pasta, rice, or crusty bread!
