CHICKEN CACCIATORE



Chicken Cacciatore image

This classic Italian dish must have hundreds of versions, all resulting in a rustic braise of chicken, aromatic vegetables and tomatoes. My version includes lots of mushrooms, both dried and fresh. You can add kale to the dish if you want to work in some leafy greens (see variation below).

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 5 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 ounce dried mushrooms, like porcini (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
6 to 8 skinless chicken legs and/or thighs (thighs can be boneless)
1 small onion, minced
1 small carrot, minced
3 ribs celery, minced
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh minced Italian parsley
1 heaped teaspoon minced fresh rosemary, or 1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 pound mushrooms, trimmed and sliced
1/2 cup red wine
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes in juice, pulsed in a food processor

Steps:

  • Place the dried mushrooms in a bowl or heat-proof glass measuring cup and pour on 2 cups boiling water. Let sit 15 to 30 minutes, until mushrooms are softened. Drain through a strainer lined with cheesecloth or a paper towel and set over a bowl. Rinse the mushrooms in several changes of water, squeeze out excess water and chop coarsely. Set aside. Measure out 1 cup of the soaking liquid and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and brown, in batches, for 5 minutes on each side. Transfer the chicken pieces to a bowl as they are done. Pour the fat off from the pan and discard.
  • Turn the heat down to medium, add the remaining oil and the onion, carrot and celery, as well as a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, rosemary, red pepper flakes and salt to taste. Cover, turn the heat to low and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes, until the mixture is soft and aromatic. Stir in the fresh and dried mushrooms, turn the heat back up to medium, and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are just tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the wine and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, for a few minutes, until the wine has reduced by about half. Add the tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down a little and smell fragrant. Stir in the mushroom soaking liquid that you set aside.
  • Return the chicken pieces to the pan and stir so that they are well submerged in the tomato mixture. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes, until the chicken is tender. Taste, adjust seasoning and serve with pasta or rice.

MOM'S CHICKEN CACCIATORE



Mom's Chicken Cacciatore image

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.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (6 to 7 ounces each), skin removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes, cut up with kitchen shears
3/4 cup halved pitted black olives
2 tablespoons drained capers
1/4 cup torn fresh basil

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.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CACCIATORE WITH MUSHROOMS AND BACON



Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore With Mushrooms and Bacon image

Cacciatore means "hunter style" in Italian, and this is a slow cooker riff on that classic Italian braise, which usually features chicken or rabbit with lots of peppers, tomatoes and wine. In this recipe, the mushrooms, bacon and wine give the finished dish a deep and delicious savoriness. The bacon does triple duty: It provides most of the fat in the recipe, it suffuses the dish with smoky flavor, and its little crispy bits hold up nicely over the long simmer. As the dish cooks, the vegetables release their juices, which don't evaporate in the slow cooker, so this may be a more stew-like cacciatore. This makes it delicious served over pasta or polenta or in a bowl served with a hunk of crusty bread to sop up the juices. To serve it as a hoagie or submarine sandwich, use a slotted spoon to scoop the chicken and sauce onto the rolls.

Categories     dinner, poultry, soups and stews, main course

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 pound bacon, preferably thick-cut, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
8 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced
1 red, yellow or orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
8 ounces jarred roasted red peppers, drained (about 1 heaping cup)
3/4 cup crushed or diced canned tomatoes (about half a 14-ounce can)
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 to 2 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Cooked polenta, pasta or hoagie rolls, for serving (optional)
Torn fresh basil leaves, for topping
Grated Parmesan, for topping

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and the fat is rendered, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, leaving the fat behind in the skillet. Add the mushrooms to the fat in the skillet and let them cook over medium-high, stirring only a few times, until the mushrooms have shrunk, released their liquid and started to lightly brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped garlic and tomato paste. Pour in the wine and let it come to a bubble, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Scrape the mixture into the slow cooker.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, roasted peppers, tomatoes, capers, vinegar, oregano, red-pepper flakes and garlic powder to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Add the chicken, season with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper and stir to combine. Cook on low until the chicken is very tender and the flavors are blended, about 4 hours. (At this point, the dish holds well on the warm setting for several hours.)
  • Using two forks, break the chicken up into large chunks. Stir in the parsley and let it warm through. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary. Serve over polenta or pasta or in hoagie rolls, if desired, or alone in bowls. Top with basil and Parmesan.
