Steps:
- Liberally season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- In a 4-quart jumbo cooker, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 3-4 minutes a side, until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate.
- Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet before adding the mushrooms. Lightly season with salt and pepper, and cook until mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Once browned, remove mushrooms to the same dish with the reserved chicken thighs.
- Add the final tablespoon of olive oil followed by the sliced onion and pepper. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat until they begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Create a well in the middle of the onion-pepper mixture and add the tomato paste. Cook out the tomato paste for about 1 minute before mixing it together with the onions and peppers.
- Add garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and rosemary. Mix them into the onion and peppers before adding the red wine. Use the moisture from the red wine to scrape off any stuck-on bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Let wine reduce by half before adding the diced tomatoes and chicken stock. Return to a simmer.
- Place chicken and mushrooms on top of the simmering sauce, being sure to also add any accumulated juices that may have collected. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
- Cook while covered for 12 minutes or until chicken's internal temperature reaches 165˚F (75˚C).
- Serve chicken and sauce with a side of pasta or bread.
- Enjoy!

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.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Rub 1 tbsp oil over the chicken and season well, then put skin-side up in an ovenproof casserole dish or roasting tin and bake for 20-25 mins until crisp and golden, but not cooked all the way though. Remove from the dish and put on a plate.
- Add the remaining oil to the dish, mixing it with the chicken fat. Tip in the onion and garlic, then bake for 5-8 mins until the onion is tender.
- Pour in the wine, stirring it with the onions, then leave to evaporate slightly in the residual heat before adding the bay, thyme, rosemary, parsley stalks and tomatoes. Dissolve the stock cube in 300ml boiling water and pour this in, then add the vinegar, capers, if using, olives and orzo. Stir well and season.
- Nestle the chicken back in the pan, skin-side up, and roast for 20 mins until the sauce is thickened, the orzo is tender and the meat is cooked through. Give it a stir, then leave for 10 mins for the orzo to absorb the excess liquid. Scatter over the parsley leaves to serve.

MEXICAN STYLE CHICKEN CACCIATORE
This came from an idea to use up left-over baked chicken. I adapted my favorite Italian Cacciatore recipe and the results were wonderful, so said my family. So I worked it a bit so it could be made from the start. This is now in my regular rotation. Play around with the spices until it suits you! This can be made with any type of chicken, with or without bones. And, of course, if using leftover baked chicken go to step 3 where veggies are added.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE WITH A MOROCCAN TWIST
I threw this recipe together and was so happy with it that I wanted to share! I used a package of a whole chicken that was sectioned into its parts. The flavors come together very well if you keep the skin on the chicken, but you could definitely prepare this with 4 six ounce boneless-skinless chicken breasts.
