CHICKEN CACCIATORE RECIPE FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• First, place the chicken pieces on a plate, and sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Then, sprinkle the flour evenly over the chicken, turning it to coat it in the flour.
• Add the olive oil to a 9" oven-safe skillet, and place it over high heat.
• Once the oil is hot, add the chicken, skin side down and let it sear for 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken when its golden brown on the first side, and sear it on the second side. Once both sides of the chicken are golden brown, remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate. The chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
• While the chicken cooks, slice the onion into half-moon shapes, and seed and slice the pepper into strips. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
• Drain off about half of the oil from the pan that you just seared the chicken in, and then add the onions and peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes, just to soften, and then stir in the garlic, thyme, oregano, wine, tomatoes and capers.
• Nestle the chicken back into the pan, skin side up, and slide it into the oven for 25 minutes.
• Serve the chicken on its own, or with pasta, bread or mashed potatoes.

• In the same skillet cook the mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper until vegetables are softened and start to brown. Stir in the tomato paste, garlic, rosemary, and pepper flakes and cook until mixture is rust colored. Mix in the wine stirring any dripping off the bottom of the pan and continue cooking until liquid is evaporated.

Steps:

• Add everything to the Crock Pot (no need to thaw the chicken) and stir until well-blended.
• Cook on low for 4-5 hours, stirring occasionally.
• After about 4 hours, I usually fish the chicken out and shred it with a fork because it's easier to eat over pasta that way, and then I let it cook another hour or so.
• Serve over pasta or rice for a tasty, simple meal.

EASY CHICKEN CACCIATORE RECIPE

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides and underneath the sikn.
• In a large pan or braiser (with a lid), heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking. Add the chicken, skin side down first. Cook until golden brown, then turn over to brown on the other side (about 8 minutes total). Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
• In the same braiser, add the onions, celery, peppers, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook over medium heat, tossing regularly. Add koserh salt, pepper, oregano, fresh thyme, parsley and red pepper flakes. Allow the vegetables to cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until tender.
• Add the red wine and cook for a few minutes until the wine has reduced by about 1/2, then add the tomatoes. Cook 5 to 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
• Now add the chicken pieces back to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and allow the chicken to cook for 30 minutes or until cooked through.
• Garnish with parsley.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Steps:

• Lightly coat a large slow cooker with nonstick spray. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium high. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the chicken in a single layer. Cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes, until browned, moving the chicken as little as possible so that it gets a nice sear. Flip and brown on the other side, about 2 additional minutes. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
• Reduce the skillet heat to medium. With a paper towel, carefully wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil. One the oil is hot, add the onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Cook for 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant and the vinegar has reduced. Transfer to the slow cooker, along with any pan drippings.
• Top the chicken with the tomatoes, green bell pepper, mushrooms, and Italian seasoning. If using chicken breasts: cover and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours or LOW for 4 to 5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through. If using chicken thighs: cover and cook for 3 to 4 hours on HIGH or 5 to 6 hours on LOW. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker as soon as it reaches 165 degrees F. If desired, chop or shred the chicken (or you can serve the pieces whole).
• At this point, you can serve the sauce right away if you are in a hurry, BUT, if time allows, this is what I like to do for the best-ever sauce: Uncover the slow cooker and let cook on HIGH for 1 hour to allow the sauce to thicken and the flavor to further develop. Just before serving, stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar. Taste and season the sauce with additional salt/pepper as desired. If you've chopped or shredded the chicken, return it to the sauce and toss to combine and warm through. Otherwise, serve the chicken pieces whole with a generous amount of the sauce on top. Serve hot over pasta, rice, polenta, or veggie noodles, with a big extra spoonful of sauce and a sprinkle of parsley and Parmesan.
