CHICKEN CACCIATORE

This easy chicken cacciatore recipe with boneless chicken thighs, mushrooms, and wine is made on the stovetop and ready in under an hour.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
1 medium green bell pepper (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
3/4 cup dry white wine or low sodium chicken broth
1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
8 ounces sliced baby bella (cremini) mushrooms
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Whole wheat pasta (or brown rice, polenta, rice, zucchini noodles, or baked and shredded spaghetti squash)
Chopped fresh parsley or basil
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch oven or similar deep, sturdy pot over medium-high. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Once the oil is hot and shimmering (but not so hot it starts smoking), add the chicken in a single layer. Cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes, until browned, moving the chicken as little as possible so that it gets a nice sear. Flip and brown on the other side, about 2 additional minutes. Transfer the chicken to a large, clean plate. The chicken does not need to be cooked through.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion, and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add the white wine. Stir and let simmer until the wine is reduced by approximately half, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes with their juices, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, and balsamic vinegar, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer. Let the sauce simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
  • Nestle the chicken thighs into the tomato sauce, along with any drippings that have collected on the plate. The chicken should be mostly submerged, though some may peek through.
  • Partially cover the pot and let simmer 15 to 20 additional minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, the sauce is thickened, and the mushrooms are tender.
  • If you'd like to dice or shred the chicken, remove it to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, dice or shred it, then return it to the pot. You also can serve the chicken thighs whole.
  • Taste and season the sauce with additional salt and pepper as desired. If you've chopped or shredded the chicken, return it to the sauce and toss to combine and warm through. Otherwise, serve the chicken pieces whole with a generous amount of sauce on top.
  • Serve hot over pasta, rice, polenta, or veggie noodles, with a big extra spoonful of sauce and a sprinkle of parsley and Parmesan.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Dinner

Time 5h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (plus 2 teaspoons, divided)
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (plus 1/2 teaspoon, divided)
1 can crushed tomatoes (28 ounces)
1 medium green bell pepper (chopped)
8 ounces sliced baby bella cremini mushrooms
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Whole wheat pasta (brown rice, polenta, rice, zucchini noodles, or baked and shredded spaghetti squash)
Chopped fresh parsley (freshly grated Parmesan cheese)

Steps:

  • Lightly coat a large slow cooker with nonstick spray. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium high. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the chicken in a single layer. Cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes, until browned, moving the chicken as little as possible so that it gets a nice sear. Flip and brown on the other side, about 2 additional minutes. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
  • Reduce the skillet heat to medium. With a paper towel, carefully wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil. One the oil is hot, add the onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar. Cook for 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant and the vinegar has reduced. Transfer to the slow cooker, along with any pan drippings.
  • Top the chicken with the tomatoes, green bell pepper, mushrooms, and Italian seasoning. If using chicken breasts: cover and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours or LOW for 4 to 5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through. If using chicken thighs: cover and cook for 3 to 4 hours on HIGH or 5 to 6 hours on LOW. Remove the chicken from the slow cooker as soon as it reaches 165 degrees F. If desired, chop or shred the chicken (or you can serve the pieces whole).
  • At this point, you can serve the sauce right away if you are in a hurry, BUT, if time allows, this is what I like to do for the best-ever sauce: Uncover the slow cooker and let cook on HIGH for 1 hour to allow the sauce to thicken and the flavor to further develop. Just before serving, stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar. Taste and season the sauce with additional salt/pepper as desired. If you've chopped or shredded the chicken, return it to the sauce and toss to combine and warm through. Otherwise, serve the chicken pieces whole with a generous amount of the sauce on top. Serve hot over pasta, rice, polenta, or veggie noodles, with a big extra spoonful of sauce and a sprinkle of parsley and Parmesan.

Tips:

  • Use a slow cooker with a tight-fitting lid. This will help to keep the chicken moist and prevent the sauce from evaporating.
  • Brown the chicken before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your cacciatore. This will add flavor and color to the dish.
  • Add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the slow cooker. This will help to deglaze the pan and add flavor to the sauce.
  • Season the cacciatore to taste with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Serve the cacciatore over cooked pasta or rice.

Conclusion:

Crock-Pot Skinless Boneless Chicken Cacciatore is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and savory. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
