Ingredients
- ¼ cup of reconstituted dried porcini mushrooms
- 1 whole chicken broken down into parts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ peeled and small diced yellow onion
- 3 small diced ribs of celery
- 2 peeled and small diced carrots
- 4 finely minced cloves of garlic
- 1 cup sliced baby portabella
- 1 cup sliced button mushrooms
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2 28- ounce cans whole peeled tomatoes crushed with your hands
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
- sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pour 2 cups of boiling water over top a ½ ounce of dried porcini mushrooms in a medium-sized bowl and let them sit for 20 minutes.
- Finely strain the mushrooms and reserve ½ of the liquid.
- Rinse the mushrooms well under cold water and then squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Roughly small chop the mushrooms.
- Season the chicken parts well on all sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil into a large rondeaux pot over medium heat until it begins to smoke likely.
- Add chicken parts and brown them well on each side, which takes about 4 minutes per side.
- Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Next, add the onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 6 to 7 minutes or until browned over medium-high heat.
- Deglaze with the wine and cook over medium heat until the liquid is almost gone, which takes about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the reserved porcini mushroom liquid, tomatoes, herbs, salt, and pepper and stir.
- Add the browned chicken back in and add a lid to the pot and simmer over low heat for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can make this up to 30 minutes ahead of time. Just keep it covered over low heat.
- How to Store: Place this covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This will freeze covered for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired amount of chicken cacciatore to a rondeau pot and cook over low heat while occasionally stirring. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper and serve.
- Feel free to use chicken breasts, thighs, or drums.
- When searing the chicken, be sure not to crowd the pan too much so you can get a good sear. If you need to sear it in batches, then please do it.
