Chicken Cacciatore
Chicken Cacciatore is Italian home cooking, eaten at dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 8 bone-in chicken thighs
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 2 bell peppers
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp salt
How to cook it
- Pat the chicken thighs dry and season them with salt.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high and brown the thighs skin-side down until golden, about 5 minutes per side, then remove.
- Add the sliced peppers, mushrooms, and onion and cook until softened, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, oregano, and rosemary for 1 minute.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, add the bay leaf, and nestle the chicken back in.
- Cover and simmer until the chicken is tender and cooked through, about 35 minutes.
- Discard the bay leaf and serve the braise hot.

When to cook it
Chicken Cacciatore takes about 55 minutes from a cold stove to the table, and the cooking itself is a fair bit of work. It is eaten at dinner. It is at its best in the fall and winter, which is when what goes into it is worth buying.
