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<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-pasta-dough\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-pasta-dough\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade pasta<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What is chicken cacciatore?<\/h2>\n<p>A recipe for chicken cacciatore creates a traditional Italian stew by simmering chicken and vegetables in a hearty tomato sauce. The Italian word <em>cacciatore<\/em> translates to \u201chunter,\u201d and cooking chicken <em>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<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;s so good you could drink it with a straw!<\/p>\n<h2>Chicken Cacciatore Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bone-in chicken:<\/strong> We recommend using bone-in chicken for this chicken cacciatore recipe. The bones add incredible depth to the sauce, and you won&#8217;t get the same result with boneless chicken. Instead of buying chicken pieces, try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cut-up-a-whole-chicken\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cut-up-a-whole-chicken\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cutting up a whole chicken<\/a> at home. It\u2019s more economical than buying chicken pieces, and you\u2019ll end up with a nice assortment of white and dark meat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> Dusting the chicken pieces with flour gives them a lightly breaded texture. The flour also helps thicken the sauce to the perfect level.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegetables:<\/strong> We use onion, celery, green pepper and mushrooms. If you\u2019re not a fan of green pepper, feel free to substitute a red, yellow or orange pepper.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Herbs and garlic:<\/strong> Dried thyme, rosemary, oregano and basil, along with minced garlic cloves, lend classic Italian flavor to this savory recipe for chicken cacciatore.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomatoes:<\/strong> A combination of chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste creates a layered texture in the sauce. You can substitute diced tomatoes or stewed tomatoes if you don\u2019t want to chop whole peeled tomatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red wine:<\/strong> You can use water if you prefer not to cook with alcohol, but red wine deepens the sauce&#8217;s rich character.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Brown the chicken<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1985544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Chicken-Cacciatore_TOHVS24_2599_BL_04_18_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Flour Covered pieces of chicken on cutting board\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dust the chicken with flour, and season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1985545\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Chicken-Cacciatore_TOHVS24_2599_BL_04_18_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Browning the chicken on large skillet\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large skillet, brown the chicken on all sides in oil and butter over medium-high heat.

Reheat the leftovers over medium heat in a covered skillet, stirring occasionally, until a thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 165\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze chicken cacciatore?<\/h3>\n<p>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<h2>Chicken Cacciatore Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1985543 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Chicken-Cacciatore_FT24_2599_ST_0223_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chicken Cacciatore served on plate with pasta and cheese \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you make the chicken cacciatore recipe in a slow cooker?<\/h3>\n<p>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<h3>What is the best type of wine for chicken cacciatore recipes?<\/h3>\n<p>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&#8217;t overpower the poultry&#8217;s delicate flavor, while merlot is a fantastic option for bringing out the tomato&#8217;s fruity qualities. In general, I always recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cook-with-wine-according-to-the-experts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cook-with-wine-according-to-the-experts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cooking with wine<\/a> that you would drink. It doesn&#8217;t have to be expensive, but you know it&#8217;ll taste great in a dinner if you also enjoy its flavor and aroma straight out of the bottle.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between chicken cacciatore and chicken Parmesan?<\/h3>\n<p>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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/air-fryer-chicken-parmesan\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/air-fryer-chicken-parmesan\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">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<h3>What do you serve with chicken cacciatore?<\/h3>\n<p>We typically serve this recipe for chicken cacciatore with hot cooked pasta. You\u2019ll need about 2 ounces of dry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-much-pasta\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-much-pasta\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pasta per person<\/a>.

As a test removed the skin from 1 thigh but the outer surface was tougher than the skin-on thighs which were moist and tender.   We like our vegetables on the Al dente side. 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. If the sauce still needs a little help, try 1 tablespoon cornstarch in 1 tablespoon cold water and add to the sauce.  The sauce will bolder over night. Day 2 will be even better than freshly prepared.  Used freshly grated Parmigianino-Reggiano","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-01-19","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GR"},"reviewBody":"I avoid signing up to give comments like the plague.

I\u2019ve tried different recipes, but Taste Recipes\u2019s is by far the best.  Recently, we ordered take-out from our local Italian restaurant.  The special was Chicken Cacciatore, which my husband ordered.  He was very disappointed\u2013 the chicken was overdone and the sauce bland.  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. Thank you, Taste Recipes, for this terrific recipe!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-05-07","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"DonNeuser"},"reviewBody":"I've made this recipe twice since the \"stay at home order\" and everyone Loves it.
