Chicken cacciatore is a classic Italian dish that is both flavorful and easy to make. The dish is made with chicken breasts or thighs that are browned and then simmered in a tomato sauce with onions, peppers, and mushrooms. Chicken Cacciatore is traditionally served over pasta, and angel hair pasta aglio olio is a light and flavorful pasta dish that is the perfect complement to the rich cacciatore sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Sprinkle chicken with 1 teaspoon salt. Heat oil in a wide, heavy, oven-safe pot over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, about 1 minute. Add chicken, skin sides down, and cook, turning once, until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat. Reduce heat to medium and cook pepper, onion, and garlic, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in oregano, thyme, tomato puree, water, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer. Return chicken to pot, return to a simmer, cover, and transfer to oven. Bake until chicken is tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
- Transfer chicken to a bowl and chill, uncovered, until cool enough to handle (20 minutes). Discard skin and bones. Pull meat into coarse shreds.
- Add chicken, beans, and vinegar to tomato mixture in pot and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in salted water according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Stir pasta into chicken mixture, thinning with pasta water as needed. Season with additional salt, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

- In another bowl combine the flour, 1 teaspoons oregano and salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour. Shake off excess flour.
- Heat a large dutch oven or heavy skillet (oven safe) over medium/high heat. Add olive oil and butter, when butter melts add chicken pieces (4 pieces at a time). Brown chicken on both sides, transfer chicken to a plate.
- Pour off half of the grease in the pan and discard. Add onions, peppers and garlic, cook stirring for 1 minute. Add crushed red pepper flakes and chicken bouillon cube, cook stirring 1 more minute.
- Add water, bring to boil. Stir in diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Add chicken pieces back to pan. Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Remove cover and raise temperature to 375 degrees F. Cook for an additional 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large pot of salted water to boil for the pasta. Cook pasta according to package "al dente" reserving 2 cups of the pasta water before draining.
- In a large deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring for 2 minutes (do not burn garlic). Add crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring 1 minute. Add pasta water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil and reduce sauce to about half.
- Add the drained pasta to the sauce and remove from heat. Toss adding a final drizzle of olive oil and Parmesan cheese.
- Serve Chicken Cacciatore over the Angel hair Aglio Olio. Garnish with pamesan cheese and basil.
- Note: You can add mushrooms (I didn't have any), and you can substitute the 1 cup of water and chicken bouillon cube for 3/4 cups dry white wine (I just prefer the flavor of the bouillon cube or chicken stock over wine). Plus I'd rather drink the wine as I'm cooking ;-).

- Brown the chicken in batches. This will help to create a flavorful crust on the outside of the chicken and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
- Add a splash of white wine. This will help to deglaze the pan and add a touch of acidity to the sauce.
- Simmer the chicken until it is cooked through. This will take about 30 minutes.
- Serve the chicken cacciatore over angel hair pasta or your favorite pasta.
Conclusion:
Chicken cacciatore is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of chicken, vegetables, and sauce is sure to please everyone at the table.
