Provided by Pam

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 2h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 teaspoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, sliced
2 (28 ounce) cans whole peeled plum tomatoes with juice
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
¾ cup red wine
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 green bell peppers, cut into chunks
2 onions, cut into chunks
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup olive oil
5 pounds skinless, boneless chicken pieces
1 ½ pounds dry linguine pasta
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon freshly shredded Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large pot over low heat, and cook and stir the garlic until tender but not browned, about 3 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes with their juice, and mash with a potato masher to leave the tomatoes in chunks. Stir in tomato paste, red wine, sugar, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper, and mix until the tomato paste is smoothly combined into the sauce. Bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring often, while you prepare the vegetables.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the carrot and celery until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir into the sauce. In the same skillet, cook and stir the green peppers and onions until the onions are translucent, 5 to 8 more minutes; mix them to the sauce. Heat 1 more tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet, and cook and stir the mushrooms until they give up their liquid, about 10 minutes; stir the mushrooms into the sauce. Allow sauce to simmer while you cook the chicken.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl. Place the flour in a separate shallow bowl. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip chicken pieces in egg, then dredge in flour. Tap off any excess flour, and brown the chicken pieces in the hot oil until browned on both sides, about 15 minutes. Set the chicken pieces aside.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Spoon about 1 cup of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a large Dutch oven. Place the chicken pieces into the Dutch oven, and pour remaining sauce and vegetables over the chicken; cover.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is tender and no longer pink inside, about 1 hour. If sauce begins to boil harder than a simmer, reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • About 15 minutes before serving time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Stir in the linguine pasta, bring back to a boil, and cook, stirring often, until the linguine is tender but still slightly firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the pasta well.
  • Turn the linguine out onto a large platter, and top with the chicken and sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan cheese to serve.

4 (6 ounce) bone-in chicken thighs, with skin

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CACCIATORE WITH MUSHROOMS AND BACON



Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore With Mushrooms and Bacon image

Cacciatore means "hunter style" in Italian, and this is a slow cooker riff on that classic Italian braise, which usually features chicken or rabbit with lots of peppers, tomatoes and wine. In this recipe, the mushrooms, bacon and wine give the finished dish a deep and delicious savoriness. The bacon does triple duty: It provides most of the fat in the recipe, it suffuses the dish with smoky flavor, and its little crispy bits hold up nicely over the long simmer. As the dish cooks, the vegetables release their juices, which don't evaporate in the slow cooker, so this may be a more stew-like cacciatore. This makes it delicious served over pasta or polenta or in a bowl served with a hunk of crusty bread to sop up the juices. To serve it as a hoagie or submarine sandwich, use a slotted spoon to scoop the chicken and sauce onto the rolls.

Time 4h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 pound bacon, preferably thick-cut, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
8 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/4 cup dry red wine
1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced
1 red, yellow or orange bell pepper, thinly sliced
8 ounces jarred roasted red peppers, drained (about 1 heaping cup)
3/4 cup crushed or diced canned tomatoes (about half a 14-ounce can)
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 to 2 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Cooked polenta, pasta or hoagie rolls, for serving (optional)
Torn fresh basil leaves, for topping
Grated Parmesan, for topping

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and the fat is rendered, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, leaving the fat behind in the skillet. Add the mushrooms to the fat in the skillet and let them cook over medium-high, stirring only a few times, until the mushrooms have shrunk, released their liquid and started to lightly brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped garlic and tomato paste. Pour in the wine and let it come to a bubble, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Scrape the mixture into the slow cooker.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, roasted peppers, tomatoes, capers, vinegar, oregano, red-pepper flakes and garlic powder to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Add the chicken, season with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper and stir to combine. Cook on low until the chicken is very tender and the flavors are blended, about 4 hours. (At this point, the dish holds well on the warm setting for several hours.)
  • Using two forks, break the chicken up into large chunks. Stir in the parsley and let it warm through. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary. Serve over polenta or pasta or in hoagie rolls, if desired, or alone in bowls. Top with basil and Parmesan.

Tips:

  • To make sure the chicken is evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have dry white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water. However, the wine adds a nice flavor to the dish, so if you can, it's worth using it.
  • If you're using canned tomatoes, be sure to drain them well before adding them to the pan. This will help to prevent the dish from becoming too watery.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the dish, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or carrots.
  • Serve the chicken cacciatore over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
