Chicken Noodle Cacciatore

SERVES: 4

COOK TIME: 1 Hr

The secret to this Chicken Cacciatore is simple. Use lots of fresh veggies -- like onions, mushrooms, peppers, and tomatoes -- for extra-fresh taste.

What You'll Need

1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 pound fresh sliced mushrooms
2 bell peppers (1 red and 1 green), thinly sliced
1 large onion, cut in half then cut into -inch slices
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (3- to 3-1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 (26-ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
1 large tomato, chopped
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup white wine, optional
1 (1-pound) egg noodles, cooked according to package directions

What to Do

Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, bell peppers, and onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until just tender. Remove the vegetables to a medium bowl, leaving any remaining oil in the pot.
Meanwhile, combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish and dip the chicken into the flour mixture one piece at a time, coating completely. In the same soup pot, cook the chicken pieces for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until browned.
Return the vegetables to the pot and add the remaining ingredients; mix well. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and no pink remains.
Serve the chicken topped with the sauce and vegetables over egg noodles.

Notes

Serve over a bed of egg noodles and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Yes, this dish (with the exception of the noodles) can be made ahead and then frozen. :)

This is the best chicken cacciatore recipe I have ever tried. It was very flavorful and tasty. I used regular spaghetti instead of egg noodles and it worked out just fine.

This was a fantastic dish that my whole family loved. It was easy & many light but full flavors. I substituted paprika for chili flake because I like flavor but not heat.

This recipe sounds great! It seems to have a lot of ingredients, but most of us already have these things on hand.... so don't let the ingredients scare you away from making it. I plan to prepare this next Sunday evening, and all I'll need to buy is a red pepper, mushrooms, and some chicken. I might have wine on hand, but if I don't... I'll either omit it altogether, or I'll add some chicken stock (or boullion) to replace the wine. I'm sure this dish will be terrific. It sounds good to me, and I've been cooking for many years.
