MOM'S CHICKEN CACCIATORE
When Valerie Bertinelli was growing up, chicken cacciatore was a standard weeknight dinner. It's one of many recipes she learned from her mom, Nancy, over the years. "I've been making it so long, I don't remember when I started!" she says. Using just one pot makes for an easy cleanup, and though her mom originally incorporated the whole chicken, Valerie's version calls only for thighs. "They're more forgiving, especially for beginners.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides, then toss them in a bowl with the flour to lightly coat.
- Heat the olive oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the thighs and cook until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. (Do this in batches if necessary.) Remove the thighs to a plate.
- Add the onion and mushrooms to the pot and cook, stirring, until the onion is softened and the mushrooms are lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until the pepper is just starting to soften, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a boil, then cook, scraping up any browned bits, until reduced by about half. Add the oregano and rosemary. Add the tomatoes and their juices and bring to a simmer. Add the olives and capers.
- Return the chicken to the pot, nestling it in the sauce. Reduce the heat to keep the sauce at a gentle simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper and top with the basil.
BREANNE'S CHICKEN CACCIATORE
I made this from "Offerings From the Oven" --cookbook I received from my swap partner, BB502. I made using skin-on/bone-in large chicken thighs, using full sauce and seasonings, for 2 thighs. having 3+ hours time in the oven, reminded me of an old "I Hate to Cook Book" recipe, made frequently when we were first married. Chicken is done to falling off the bone, served with penne.

MY ITALIAN GRANDFATHER'S CHICKEN CACCIATORE
Favorite recipe handed down to me by my Italian grandfather Alfredo Marchese aka "Pop." Loved when we cooked this together while listening to the opera! Serve with polenta or spaghetti, spooning sauce over all. This was my Italian grandfather's sauce for game (mostly rabbit) but I love it for chicken. Mangia!

Tips:
- Use a large skillet or pot for this recipe. You want plenty of room to brown the chicken and vegetables.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the chicken and vegetables won't brown properly.
- Be patient when browning the chicken. It takes a few minutes to get a nice golden crust.
- Use a combination of vegetables in this dish. Whatever vegetables you have on hand will work, so feel free to get creative.
- Add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the skillet before adding the tomatoes. This will help to deglaze the pan and add flavor to the sauce.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve chicken cacciatore over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
