MOM'S CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, 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, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. 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 peppers and cook, stirring, until the peppers are just starting to soften, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a boil, then cook, scraping up any brown bits, until reduced by about half. Add the oregano and rosemary. Add the tomatoes and their juice and bring to a simmer. Add the olives and capers. Return the chicken to the pot, nestling in the sauce. Reduce the heat to keep the sauce at a gentle simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
• Sprinkle with the basil. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE

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.

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.

• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet; heat fat over medium heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Stir in tomato paste, garlic, rosemary and pepper flakes and cook until mixture is rust colored and fragrant, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine and any accumulated chicken juices, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until liquid is evaporated, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes (I also add a pinch of sugar) and their juice and broth and bring to boil.
• Nestle chicken into sauce, skin side up. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until chicken registers 175 degrees, 22 to 25 minutes. Remove lid, increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes longer. Sprinkle with basil.
• Note: If serving with pasta, adjust sauce consistency with reserved pasta cooking water as needed.

• Add everything to the Crock Pot (no need to thaw the chicken) and stir until well-blended.
