QUICK CHICKEN CACCIATORE



Quick Chicken Cacciatore image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast (3 pieces) or, 1 package boneless, skinless chicken thighs, if you prefer dark meat
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan) extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 portobello mushroom caps, halved crosswise and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
1/2 cup beef broth or stock
1 (28-ounces) can crushed tomatoes
A handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 pound egg ribbons or egg fettuccini, cooked to al dente
Crusty bread and grated Parmigiano or Romano, for passing

Steps:

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add half of the extra-virgin olive oil and brown chicken breasts or thighs for 3 or 4 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from pan and season with salt and pepper.
  • Return pan to stove, reduce heat to medium and add the remaining. Add crushed pepper, sliced mushrooms, and garlic. Season with salt (salt is a magnet for drawing out liquid). Cover and cook mushrooms 5 minutes or until mushrooms are dark, tender and have given off their juices. Add about 1/2 cup of beef broth to intensify the wild mushroom flavor, then stir in the tomatoes and parsley. Cut the chicken into bite-size chunks or slices and add to sauce. Simmer sauce 5 minutes to finish cooking chicken pieces and to allow the flavors to combine. Toss pasta with cacciatore and serve with crusty bread and grated cheese.
  • Tidbits: Beef broth and stock is now available in resealable paper containers, which can be found on the soup aisle of your market. These paper containers make storage of remaining broth easier; keep some on hand in your refrigerator. Beef broth is used instead of chicken broth in this recipe because it pairs better with the beefy taste of portobello mushrooms. The broth will make your cacciatore taste as if it simmered all day because it accents the mushroom taste well.
  • Depending on your brand, 1 large can of tomatoes can vary in weight from 28 to 32 ounces. Use your favorite, but check to make sure the product is sugar free.

CREAMY CHICKEN CACCIATORE SOUP



Creamy Chicken Cacciatore Soup image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the noodles
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Pinch of turmeric
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup white wine (any kind will do)
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
6 ounces egg noodles
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a 5 1/2-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and place skin-side down in the pot. Brown for 4 to 6 minutes on the first side, then flip and brown for 4 to 6 minutes on the other side. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the mushrooms, garlic, bell peppers, onion, thyme and turmeric to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the edges are starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute. Pour in the white wine, bring to a simmer and simmer for 3 minutes. Use your spoon to scrape the sides and bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits that might be stuck there. Add the chicken stock, diced tomatoes and chicken thighs. Season the soup with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Fill a 4-quart pot with water and bring to a boil. Cook the egg noodles until al dente according to the package directions. Drain the noodles, put back into the pot they were cooked in and toss with a scant tablespoon of olive oil; set aside.
  • When the chicken is ready, transfer it to a cutting board. Using 2 forks, remove the chicken from the bones and shred. Some skin will end up in the mix, which is totally fine. Add the shredded meat back to the soup. Discard the skin and bones.
  • Add the noodles to the soup, as well as the heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Simmer for a few minutes to heat everything through. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot in bowls and garnish with the remaining chopped parsley.
  • If you are making this soup ahead of time, undercook the noodles by 2 minutes as directed on the package, so they don't overcook when the soup is reheated. Alternatively, cook the noodles, drain, toss in olive oil and store separately, adding them to the soup once it has been reheated. Serve as directed above.

QUICK CHICKEN CACCIATORE



Quick Chicken Cacciatore image

Our rendition of this Italian dinner classic features braised chicken with tomatoes, white wine, and rosemary.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Thighs

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 chicken thighs (about 2 1/4 pounds), skin on
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, halved and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices
3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary, plus more for sprinkling
3/4 cup dry white wine
3 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, juice from 1 can reserved
1 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock

Steps:

  • Season chicken with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; dredge in flour. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken, skin side down; cook until dark-golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat.
  • Add onions, garlic, and rosemary; cook, stirring, until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add wine, and simmer 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, reserved juice, stock, and 1 teaspoon salt. Return chicken to pot. Raise heat to medium high, and bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Partially cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate; cover.
  • Raise heat to medium. Cook until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Return chicken to pot. Serve sprinkled with more rosemary.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, and thyme are all good choices for chicken cacciatore soup. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them or they will become tough. Cook them just until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Chicken cacciatore soup is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give chicken cacciatore soup a try.
