Provided by Anita Lo

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
1/2 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 splash white wine
1 sprig thyme
1 bay leaf
3 cups chopped tomatoes, about 3 medium tomatoes
1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
1 sprig oregano

Steps:

  • The chicken: Heat a dry skillet on high for 1 minute, then add the oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and add to the pan. Brown chicken, about 2-3 minutes per side, reducing heat to medium after 1 minute. Remove and pour out any dark oil.
  • The sauce: To the same skillet, add more oil and sweat the onions, 3-5 minutes (add more olive oil as needed). Add garlic, thyme, and bay leaf, followed by white wine. Reduce white wine until almost dry, then add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and toss. Add the chicken back to the pan, along with the olives. Cook 10 minutes, occasionally moving the sauce around until it thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Assembly: Spoon the sauce onto a serving platter. Remove the bay leaf and thyme. Add fresh oregano followed by chicken.

Tips:

  • For a more flavorful dish, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts. The bones and skin will add extra richness and flavor to the sauce.
  • If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large skillet or sauté pan. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Serve chicken cacciatore over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. You can also serve it with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • To make a vegetarian version of this recipe, simply omit the chicken and add more vegetables, such as zucchini, eggplant, or bell peppers.

Conclusion:

Chicken cacciatore is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. It is a perfect meal for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With its tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and colorful vegetables, chicken cacciatore is sure to please everyone at the table.
