BAKED CHICKEN CACCIATORE



Baked Chicken Cacciatore image

This baked chicken cacciatore was inspired by a lonely can of stewed tomatoes that were in the pantry. This is simple to make and sooooo good! I love to serve this with mashed potatoes, but it also goes great with rice or pasta. We like it just as is, but feel free to "spice it up" any way you wish.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

nonstick cooking spray
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt, divided
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
6 (4 ounce) skinless, bone-in chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed
2 small onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
½ cup red wine, or more as needed
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes with juice
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix together flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until nicely browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish.
  • Add onions and garlic to the skillet and saute until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and more oil, if necessary, and cook until mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup wine into the pan, scrape the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, and cook until liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Stir in stewed tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, adding extra wine if sauce seems too thick. Pour mixture over chicken in the baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 chicken thighs
2 chicken breasts with skin and backbone, halved crosswise
2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1/2 cup all purpose flour, for dredging
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 ( 28-ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons drained capers
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon of each salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour to coat lightly.
  • In a large heavy saute pan, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and saute just until brown, about 5 minutes per side. If all the chicken does not fit in the pan, saute it in 2 batches. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic to the same pan and saute over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juice, broth, capers and oregano. Return the chicken pieces to the pan and turn them to coat in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue simmering over medium-low heat until the chicken is just cooked through, about 30 minutes for the breast pieces, and 20 minutes for the thighs.
  • Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a platter. If necessary, boil the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Spoon off any excess fat from atop the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with the basil and serve.

  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give it enough space so that it can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit before removing it from the pan.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, then remove it from the pan.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the dish, such as onions, peppers, or zucchini. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
