Chicken Cacciatore
Report
Traditional Italian Chicken Cacciatore is a savory, rustic, one-pot chicken stew simmered in a Dutch oven with tomatoes, peppers, and onions and served over pasta.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken approximately 3 pounds, cut-up
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 rib celery diced
- 1 bell pepper cut in strips
- 29 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juice
- 4 springs fresh thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Wipe the chicken dry. Salt and pepper well on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until nicely browned. Brown the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding of the pan. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Add the onions into the Dutch oven (no need to clean it out first) and cook for 3 minutes, or until they begin to brown slightly.
- Add the garlic, celery and bell pepper and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until vegetables begin to soften. (If using wine, add 1 cup after the vegetables have softened. Cook the wine with the vegetables until the wine has reduced by about half its volume.)
- Add tomatoes, thyme and bay leaf. Stir well.
- Add the chicken back to the pan along with any juices that accumulated on the plate while the chicken was resting.
- Bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for approximately 1 hour. Near the end of cooking time, stir in the chopped parsley. Check and correct seasonings.
- Serve over your choice of pasta or polenta.
Notes
- Serve this with a long, ribbon pasta such as spaghetti, fettuccini, or linguini. Alternately, it can be served over polenta.
- If you have any leftovers you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. It's possible to reheat in the microwave, but you'll have the best results reheating on the stovetop in a covered pan on a medium-low setting.
