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.
