Provided by Dana Sandonato

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 lbs skinless and boneless chicken thighs
A few pinches of kosher salt and cracked black pepper, for the chicken thighs
1/2 cup All Purpose flour
2 TBSP olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, smashed and sliced
8 oz red pearl onions, peeled and halved (*See notes)
1 cup sliced baby bella or cremini mushrooms
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 TBSP freshly chopped oregano, plus some extra sprigs for simmering
1 TBSP freshly chopped thyme
1/2 cup dry red wine, like Merlot
3/4 cup chicken broth
28 oz crushed tomatoes
1 cup kalamata olives
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season with a few pinches of salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet or braiser over medium-high heat. One by one, dredge the chicken thighs in flour, shaking off any excess flour, and place in the heated skillet. Simmer the chicken until the exterior is just browned on both sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  • Add the garlic, pearl onions, and mushrooms to the skillet. If you need a bit more oil, add it now. Simmer, scraping up pan bits and drippings from the chicken, stirring them in with everything else. (This will add a lot of extra flavor.) Simmer for until garlic is fragrant-about 3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and herbs, and stir to coat the veggies. At this point, slowly pour the wine into the skillet along with the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, and olives. Add salt and pepper, bay leaves, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Bring the heat to low, transfer the chicken to the skillet nestling it into the sauce, and cover the skillet. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 20 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the chicken has an internal temperature of 165º F.
  • Serve over pasta, grains, or spiralized veggies.

This easy chicken cacciatore recipe with boneless chicken thighs, mushrooms, and wine is made on the stovetop and ready in under an hour.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
1 medium green bell pepper (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
3/4 cup dry white wine or low sodium chicken broth
1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
8 ounces sliced baby bella (cremini) mushrooms
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Whole wheat pasta (or brown rice, polenta, rice, zucchini noodles, or baked and shredded spaghetti squash)
Chopped fresh parsley or basil
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven or similar deep, sturdy pot over medium-high. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Once the oil is hot and shimmering (but not so hot it starts smoking), add the chicken in a single layer. Cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes, until browned, moving the chicken as little as possible so that it gets a nice sear. Flip and brown on the other side, about 2 additional minutes. Transfer the chicken to a large, clean plate. The chicken does not need to be cooked through.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion, and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add the white wine. Stir and let simmer until the wine is reduced by approximately half, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes with their juices, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, and balsamic vinegar, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer. Let the sauce simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • Nestle the chicken thighs into the tomato sauce, along with any drippings that have collected on the plate. The chicken should be mostly submerged, though some may peek through.
  • Partially cover the pot and let simmer 15 to 20 additional minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the sauce is thickened, and the mushrooms are tender.
  • If you'd like to dice or shred the chicken, remove it to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, dice or shred it, then return it to the pot. You also can serve the chicken thighs whole.
  • Taste and season the sauce with additional salt and pepper as desired. If you've chopped or shredded the chicken, return it to the sauce and toss to combine and warm through. Otherwise, serve the chicken pieces whole with a generous amount of sauce on top.
  • Serve hot over pasta, rice, polenta, or veggie noodles, with a big extra spoonful of sauce and a sprinkle of parsley and Parmesan.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 chicken thighs
2 chicken breasts with skin and backbone, halved crosswise
2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1/2 cup all purpose flour, for dredging
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 ( 28-ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons drained capers
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon of each salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour to coat lightly.
  • In a large heavy saute pan, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and saute just until brown, about 5 minutes per side. If all the chicken does not fit in the pan, saute it in 2 batches. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic to the same pan and saute over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juice, broth, capers and oregano. Return the chicken pieces to the pan and turn them to coat in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue simmering over medium-low heat until the chicken is just cooked through, about 30 minutes for the breast pieces, and 20 minutes for the thighs.
  • Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a platter. If necessary, boil the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Spoon off any excess fat from atop the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with the basil and serve.

QUICK CHICKEN CACCIATORE



Quick Chicken Cacciatore image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast (3 pieces) or, 1 package boneless, skinless chicken thighs, if you prefer dark meat
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan) extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 portobello mushroom caps, halved crosswise and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
1/2 cup beef broth or stock
1 (28-ounces) can crushed tomatoes
A handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 pound egg ribbons or egg fettuccini, cooked to al dente
Crusty bread and grated Parmigiano or Romano, for passing

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add half of the extra-virgin olive oil and brown chicken breasts or thighs for 3 or 4 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from pan and season with salt and pepper.
  • Return pan to stove, reduce heat to medium and add the remaining. Add crushed pepper, sliced mushrooms, and garlic. Season with salt (salt is a magnet for drawing out liquid). Cover and cook mushrooms 5 minutes or until mushrooms are dark, tender and have given off their juices. Add about 1/2 cup of beef broth to intensify the wild mushroom flavor, then stir in the tomatoes and parsley. Cut the chicken into bite-size chunks or slices and add to sauce. Simmer sauce 5 minutes to finish cooking chicken pieces and to allow the flavors to combine. Toss pasta with cacciatore and serve with crusty bread and grated cheese.
  • Tidbits: Beef broth and stock is now available in resealable paper containers, which can be found on the soup aisle of your market. These paper containers make storage of remaining broth easier; keep some on hand in your refrigerator. Beef broth is used instead of chicken broth in this recipe because it pairs better with the beefy taste of portobello mushrooms. The broth will make your cacciatore taste as if it simmered all day because it accents the mushroom taste well.
  • Depending on your brand, 1 large can of tomatoes can vary in weight from 28 to 32 ounces. Use your favorite, but check to make sure the product is sugar free.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE



Chicken Cacciatore image

Many cooks overload Italian-American-style red sauce with olive oil. While it is a healthy fat, it's still a fat. At 120 calories per tablespoon, that's a lot of leeway in the hands of a liberal cook. In this version, the olive oil has been reduced to 1/2 tablespoon for all 4 portions and it still tastes great. If you use chicken thighs, you'll end up with a little more cholesterol but a lot more flavor. (If your diet requires very small amounts of cholesterol, use boneless, skinless chicken breast instead of the chicken thighs, and simmer them for only 10 to 12 minutes to prevent their drying out.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 4 ounces each)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
One 8-ounce package sliced button mushrooms
1 large green bell pepper, seeded and cut into large dice
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 3/4 cups Rocco's How Low Can You Go Low-Fat Marinara Sauce (page 206) or store-bought low-fat marinara sauce
1/2 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. When the pot is hot, add the olive oil. Add the chicken and sear it on both sides until it is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
  • Add the mushrooms and bell peppers to the Dutch oven. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper, and cook until they have softened a little bit, about 8 minutes.
  • Add the wine and cook until it has reduced by half. Add the marinara sauce and the basil, and bring the sauce to a simmer. Add the browned chicken, pushing each piece down in order to submerge it as much as possible in the sauce. Cover the pot and bring the stew to a simmer. Then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through and tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired, and serve.
