Steps:
- Roll chicken in flour and brown in olive oil.
- Add all other ingredients, cover and simmer at least one hour until chicken is tender.
Tips:
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will give the chicken plenty of room to brown and prevent it from overcrowding.
- Brown the chicken in batches: If you overcrowd the skillet, the chicken will steam instead of brown. Brown the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Don't skip the flour: Dredging the chicken in flour before browning helps to thicken the sauce.
- Use a good quality wine: The wine you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the sauce. Choose a dry white wine that you enjoy drinking.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
- Serve with your favorite pasta or rice: Chicken cacciatore is a great dish to serve with pasta or rice. You can also serve it with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Chicken cacciatore is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create your own unique version of this dish.
