HOMEMADE CHICKEN CACCIATORE, SICILIAN-STYLE
This recipe was shown to me by my Sicilian employer years ago in Lynchburg, VA. It is made from scratch with tomatoes, onions, peppers, wine, and seasonings. Do not cook chicken before adding to this recipe; it must all blend together to get this particular flavor. Leaving the skin on the chicken helps the flavors to blend together while cooking. You can remove the skin after cooking.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Cook the onion, bell pepper, and garlic in the melted butter until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, wine, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic salt; cook and stir until the mixture just begins to boil. Reduce the heat to medium low; add the chicken and cook until the meat is tender enough to fall off the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the bones and skin from the chicken, returning the meat to the pot.
- Heat 3/4 cup of the reserved liquid from the tomatoes in the microwave until just warmed. Stir the flour into the tomato liquid until thick. Add to the stockpot and stir continually until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat and allow to sit for about 15 minutes.
- While the chicken mixture rests, bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a boil. Stir the spaghetti into the water and return to a boil. Cook until the pasta is slightly tender but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain. Ladle the chicken mixture over the drained spaghetti to serve.

SPICY ITALIAN CHICKEN CASSEROLE
Juicy chicken with crispy skin in a spicy tomato sauce with bell peppers, olives and capers. Inspired by Mario Batali's Sicilian Chicken (but more sauce!). Feel free to dial back the spiciness. Made on the stove, this is a hearty dinner on the table in 30 minutes. Recipe VIDEO below.

Steps:
- Use a small knife to prick 5 or so gashes into the skin of the chicken. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
- Place chicken skin side down in a cold large non stick skillet, then turn stove onto medium high. As it heats up, the fat under the skin will start to melt through the holes in the skin.
- Cook for 4 - 5 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy. Turn the chicken and cook the other side for 3 minutes.
- Remove chicken onto a plate, discard fat (don't scrape the pan) then return to the stove.
- Add oil, garlic and onion. Cook for 1 minute, then add capsicum. Cook for 2 minutes then add wine. Bring to a simmer and stir, scraping the pan to get those golden bits mixed in.
- Once most of the wine is evaporated and it doesn't smell winey anymore, add the tomato, water and pepper flakes. Stir, bring to a simmer, adjust heat so it's bubbling energetically but not rapidly (and not slowly).
- After 5 minutes (or so), stir through olives and capers. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper.
- Then place chicken into the sauce, being careful not to submerge the skin. Cook for another 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle over parsley. Serve with crusty bread, or use half the sauce to toss through / pour over pasta and the other half to serve with chicken (see photos in post).

Steps:
- Soak the raisins in warm water until they plump, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, pine nuts, and olives. Season with bay leaves, oregano, and cayenne. Cook until the onions have softened and begun to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper; cook for 5 more minutes. Add the raisins, balsamic vinegar, and sugar; cook, stirring occasionally until thickened, about 5 more minutes. Remove the bay leaves, and stir in the julienned basil. Cover and keep warm.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. While the skillet is heating, toss the chicken with the lemon juice to coat (the lemon zest will be used later). Cook the chicken on both sides until golden brown and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate, and allow to rest for about five minutes.
- To serve, slice each chicken breast against the grain into thin slices. Divide the pasta into four wide, shallow bowls. Fan the chicken slices out over top of the pasta, and spoon the tomato sauce over them. Sprinkle with lemon zest, Parmesan cheese, and a sprig of basil to garnish.

ITALIAN CHICKEN AND SPICY TOMATO SAUCE
A wonderful quick and easy meal. I came up with this because I always have a ton of canned tomatoes on hand and a bunch of chicken. I wanted something different and low calorie. Once I snuck a bunch of broccoli VERY chopped up in here. I had to cook it forever so the husband couldn't tell it was in the dish, but it work like a charm! He still loved it!! Enjoy! (Pasta is included in the nutritional information, so cut back on that if you are watching your weight.)
