Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a deep, ovenproof roasting pan that's big enough to fit the chicken in a single layer. Season the chicken pieces all over, then place the pan on the hob and cook on a medium heat for 7-10 mins on each side until well browned. Scoop out the chicken with a slotted spoon and put to one side.
- Add the peppers and chilli to the pan (there should still be plenty of fat left in it) and cook for 10 mins until soft and beginning to brown at the edges. Pour away any excess fat, then pour in the wine and stir well for 1-2 mins as it bubbles up. Tip the tomato sauce into the pan and stir again. Add a little water (up to 150ml) to achieve a thick, pouring consistency. Nestle the chicken into the sauce and scatter with the olives. Cover, bake for 30 mins, then uncover and cook for 15-20 mins more to allow the chicken to crisp up. Spoon off any fat that has risen to the surface, scatter with parsley and serve with some rice, mashed potato or polenta.

THE BEST CHICKEN CACCIATORE
This chicken cacciatore is a real stick-to-your ribs dinner. Dark meat chicken is seared and braised in a hearty wine and tomato sauce until tender for a rustic homestyle meal. We love it as-is with maybe just a side salad, but no one would be upset if you served it on a bed of creamy polenta!

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook the chicken until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer the browned chicken to a plate or baking sheet.
- Discard the oil. Put the pot over medium heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the pancetta with a slotted spoon to a small plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the carrots, celery and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and oregano and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the wine and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid is reduced by about two-thirds, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and reserved pancetta. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Reduce the heat to low and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cover partially and cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors come together, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the chicken skin-side up to the sauce, cover and transfer the pot to the oven. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Transfer the chicken pieces to a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- If necessary, skim off any fat from the surface of the sauce with a large spoon or ladle and discard. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken and top with more parsley.

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.

TIA'S CROCK POT SPICY CHICKEN CACCIATORE
I made this up out of several different recipes. Since we love things fairly spicy it took humdrum to very nice spice!!! Note that I do not brown chicken first...just toss it in the crock pot. Also...I am not very good about measuring...although since zaar membership I am trying harder....so always taste to decide if you need more of a spice. I am also not sure of the crock pot cooking time as I am at home checking it and stirring occasionally...will try and get that down better next time I make it. Enjoy!

SPICY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CACCIATORE WITH WINE
This is a delicious chicken cacciatore recipe that stems from my family's traditional recipes. Very flavorful and full of wholesome vegetables with an amazing flavor. So many tomato sauces are so bitter, but this utilizes plain white sugar to cut the bitterness and soften the sauce to make it delicious! This will end up sweet, savory, and spicy. Simple and easy to make as well! Serve over choice of pasta, rice, or just plain.

Steps:
- The night before cooking, layer ingredients into a slow cooker in the following order: chicken, wine, onion, bell peppers, garlic, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, diced tomatoes, sugar, and tomato sauce.

- Cook on High with lid slightly off to allow juices to evaporate and sauce to condense, about 2 more hours.

SPICY CHICKEN CACCIATORE
From the Feb 2008 issue of Food and Wine Magazine. Haven't tried this yet, posting here so I can try it later. The recipe calls for 3 pounds of boneless chicken thighs. I wasn't even aware they made such a thing, so I'm going to list it as chicken breasts. They suggest to serve it with risotto and a Sangiovese wine.

Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Thighs are more flavorful and moist than breasts, and they hold up well to the long cooking time.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
- Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil will add a rich, flavorful base to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not brown properly and will release too much liquid.
- Cook the chicken over medium-high heat. This will help to brown the chicken and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Add the vegetables towards the end of the cooking time. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Serve the chicken cacciatore over pasta or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Chicken cacciatore is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a chicken cacciatore that is sure to impress your family and friends.
