Hunter's chicken
Hunter's chicken, also known as chicken cacciatore, is a delicious Italian dish that features tender chicken cooked in a rich tomato sauce with various vegetables and herbs. It's a hearty and flavorful dish that's often served with pasta or crusty bread. The name "Hunter's chicken" comes from the traditional method of preparing the dish, which is said to be similar to what Italian hunters would cook while out in the field.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts bone-in and skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced
- 1 can crushed tomatoes (14 oz)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup red wine (optional)
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the hot skillet, skin side down, and cook until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add onion, garlic, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, red wine (if using), dried oregano, and dried thyme. Stir well to combine.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook in the sauce for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy with pasta, rice, or crusty bread!
