Chicken cacciatore is simple, rustic food at its finest. This is one of those old-world Italian recipes<\/a> that will warm your heart long before you take a bite. The aroma of chicken simmering with tomatoes, red wine and Italian herbs is absolutely intoxicating! After about 90 minutes, the chicken is tender and the sauce bursts with rich, savory flavor.<\/p>\n This hearty stew features complex flavors, but it\u2019s surprisingly easy to make at home. Serve it as a regular Sunday supper, or turn the chicken cacciatore recipe into an extra-special meal by serving it with homemade pasta<\/a>.<\/p>\n A recipe for chicken cacciatore creates a traditional Italian stew by simmering chicken and vegetables in a hearty tomato sauce. The Italian word cacciatore<\/em> translates to \u201chunter,\u201d and cooking chicken alla cacciatore<\/em> means the dish is prepared \u201chunter-style.\u201d In Italy, these hunter-style dishes typically involve braising a protein (like chicken) in a sauce to create a comforting one-pot meal.<\/p>\n Onion, celery, bell pepper, mushrooms, garlic and tomatoes form the backbone of the rustic cacciatore sauce. Acidic red wine helps tenderize the chicken as it cooks and deepens the tomato’s rich flavor within the chicken cacciatore recipe. Meanwhile, herbs make the sauce zesty, while the chicken bones enrich it with flavor and body. The result: fall-off-the-bone tender meat and a sauce that’s so good you could drink it with a straw!<\/p>\n Dust the chicken with flour, and season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n In a large skillet, brown the chicken on all sides in oil and butter over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken to a platter.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> Even if you can fit all the chicken pieces into the skillet, it\u2019s better to work in batches. If there isn’t enough room between the pieces, the chicken will steam instead of brown and caramelize.<\/p>\n In the same skillet, cook and stir the onion, celery, pepper and mushrooms for five minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, wine, thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, garlic and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n Return the chicken to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes or until the chicken is tender.<\/p>\n Serve the chicken and sauce with Parmesan cheese and hot pasta.<\/p>\n Store leftover chicken cacciatore in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat the leftovers over medium heat in a covered skillet, stirring occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165\u00b0F.<\/p>\n You can freeze the recipe for chicken cacciatore for up to three months. Let the chicken and sauce cool completely, then transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container. To use, partially thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as directed.<\/p>\n To make slow-cooker chicken cacciatore, brown the chicken in a skillet as directed and transfer it to a 5-quart slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients (onion, celery, pepper, mushrooms, tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, wine, thyme, rosemary, oregano, basil, garlic and sugar). Cover and cook on low for six to eight hours or until chicken is tender.<\/p>\n I like to use dry red wine with balanced acidity and tannins for tomato-based poultry dishes like chicken cacciatore recipes. Italian Chianti is a great choice because it won’t overpower the poultry’s delicate flavor, while merlot is a fantastic option for bringing out the tomato’s fruity qualities. In general, I always recommend cooking with wine<\/a> that you would drink. It doesn’t have to be expensive, but you know it’ll taste great in a dinner if you also enjoy its flavor and aroma straight out of the bottle.<\/p>\n Chicken cacciatore is a rustic stew made with bone-in chicken. The chicken is lightly dusted with flour and browned, but it becomes soft and tender (almost shreddable) as it simmers in the tomato sauce. Chicken Parmesan is traditionally a baked dish (although air-fryer chicken Parmesan<\/a> is a popular variation). Boneless skinless chicken breasts are coated with bread crumbs and fried until crisp, then the meat is finished with a layer of tomato sauce and melty mozzarella.<\/p>\n We typically serve this recipe for chicken cacciatore with hot cooked pasta. You\u2019ll need about 2 ounces of dry pasta per person<\/a>. If you\u2019re not in the mood for noodles, make chicken cacciatore with polenta<\/a>. Or, serve the chicken and sauce over mashed potatoes<\/a>, rice or cauliflower rice<\/a>. You can\u2019t go wrong with crusty bread, roasted vegetables or a light side salad either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This easy chicken cacciatore recipe makes a good Sunday dinner, since it’s so simple to prepare.

For that reason immediately after the veggies were saut\u00e9ed the chicken was added back into the pot and cooked for the requisite 45-60 minutes. Dusting the chicken with flour, before browning, definitely helped thicken the sauce.

My husband commented that the Cacciatore I make is better so of course I had to make it for him last night. Several reviewers are confused about the Tomatoes. I use a 26.46 oz carton of Pom\u00ed\u2019s chopped tomatoes. There\u2019s really not much to drain, so I just throw the whole contents in. Also, for the cup of tomato sauce, I cheat a little and use Rao\u2019s Tomato & Basil sauce. Usually when I made this recipe, I need to add a little extra sugar to counteract the bitterness, but last night, it was perfect without any additional sweetener. Maybe it was the wine I used: Cabernet Sauvignon. I've found 1\/4 cup of flour for dusting the chicken is too much, so I add the rest when I cook the veggies. Also, I add some Kalamata Olives and some chopped up carrots.
