1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
1 small onion, diced
½ green bell pepper, diced
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 (28 ounce) can Italian-style crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the chicken, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and garlic until the chicken is no longer pink inside, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, parsley, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and basil, bring the mixture to a boil, and reduce heat. Cover the skillet and simmer for 30 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Olive oil, for coating
One 4- to 5-pound chicken, cut into 8 to 10 pieces
Kosher salt
2 large onions, sliced
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
4 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 red pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 yellow pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 pound cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
2 cups dry white wine
Two 28-ounce cans Italian plum tomatoes, passed through a food mill or pureed
3 bay leaves
1 bundle thyme, tied with kitchen twine

Steps:

  • Coat a large, wide pot with oil and set over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and cook to brown, working in batches if needed. Remove the chicken to a plate and discard most of the excess fat in the pan.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add 1 tablespoon oil, if needed, to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the onions and crushed red pepper, then season with salt, and cook to sweat the onions, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and sweat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the red and yellow peppers, and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and cook until soft. Add the white wine and cook to reduce by half.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and add the tomatoes; taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Add the bay leaves and thyme. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Partially cover the pot and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Check the sauce periodically and add water as needed; the level of liquid should be about even with the chicken.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and place on a pretty serving platter. Taste the sauce for seasoning, and adjust if needed. Skim the surface of the sauce if excessively greasy, and remove the thyme bundle and bay leaves. Spoon the sauce over the chicken to serve .

CHICKEN CACCIATORE



Chicken Cacciatore image

Hunter's style. This comes from Eleanora Scarpetta who was seen on the Martha Stewart show many, many years ago. My husband absolutely loves it! The original recipe calls for white wine and a hot pepper, which I omitted, and gaeta olives, for which I substituted green olives due to my husbands tastes, as well as oyster mushrooms, for which I used regular white mushrooms due to convenience and expense. It also called for fresh basil which I did not have so I just used dried. I am sure the ingredients I omitted would make for a more authentic dish. Any combination of chicken may be used, I prefer boneless because I am spoiled. :) This could also be done in a crock pot after the browning steps.
