This easy chicken cacciatore (chicken prepared 'hunter style') features boneless chicken thighs slow simmered with tomatoes, vegetables and Italian spices.

Chicken Cacciatore

olive oil

chicken thighs

salt

black pepper

yellow onion

green bell pepper

garlic

dry white wine chicken broth

tomatoes

baby bella (cremini) mushrooms

Italian seasoning

balsamic vinegar

Whole wheat pasta

(brown rice, polenta, rice, zucchini noodles,

parsley

Parmesan cheese

Season

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a Dutch over or similar deep, sturdy pot over medium high. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.

Cook

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.

Stir

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, the mushrooms, Italian seasoning, and balsamic vinegar, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer. Let the sauce simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Nestle

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.

Simmer

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.

Dice

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

Taste and season the sauce with additional salt and pepper as desired.  If you&#039;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

Serve hot over pasta, rice, polenta, or veggie noodles, with a big extra spoonful of sauce and a sprinkle of parsley and Parmesan.

J'ai essayé cette recette suite à  la suggestion d'une amie. Comme elle me l'avait recommandé, j'ai ajouté des herbes (basilique, coriandre, feuille de laurier), du cumin et quelques carottes. Pour le reste, j'ai pas mal suivi la recette, sauf que j'ai fait une sauce tomate à part que j'ai ajouté après avoir fait dorer les autres ingrédients. J'ai servi ce plat avec du couscous et des brocolis. C'était franchement succulent! À refaire sans modération. Merci à l'équipe de Ricardo pour vos bonnes idées!

Très bon avec des épices El Mia. Facile et effectivement meilleur réchauffé

Vous mentionnez dans une réponse comment cuire à la mijoteuse et dans une autre vous dites de ne pas cuire à la mijoteuse ???? Qui dit vrai ???

Quand je suis pressée, je prend la sauce cacciatore de Ricardo chez IGA...j’ajoute quelques épices et le tour est joué.
La recette est sur le pot.

Gouteux! Tellement bon, à refaire souvent. Merci!merci!

Est-ce qu’on peux faire dans l’autocuiseur?  Comment le modifier?

J’ai utiliser des tomates fraîches a la place de tomates en boîtes, ajouter 3/4 de tasses de bouillon de légumes, poudre de chili, et une touche de pesto a la fin de la cuisson et c’était delicieux.

Moi j'avais un reste de sauce tomate fait maison je l'ai donc utilisé et je l'ai mélangé avec les tomates requises pour la recette  pour que cela fasse 28 oz, mon copain a trouvé cela délicieux.

How to Deglaze

Learn how to make my mom&#39;s easy chicken cacciatore! A rustic Italian stew that is full of rich flavor. This recipe is made of tender braised chicken thighs with tomatoes, a medley of fresh herbs, and vibrant aromatics for deep flavor.

Mom's Easy Chicken Cacciatore (Hunters Style)

28 oz can crushed tomatoes

tomato paste

large onion, (diced)

garlic cloves, (minced)

white mushrooms, (cleaned and diced very small)

red bell peppers, (diced small)

celery stalk, (diced)

carrot, (diced)

(each) fresh rosemary and sage, (chopped)

Tablespoon fresh basil, (chopped)

Brown the chicken: sprinkle a healthy pinch of salt &amp; black pepper over both sides of the thighs. Place them in a medium-hot skillet pan with oil and brown for 3-4 minutes on each side. Then remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Saute vegetables: Add the diced onions with a pinch of salt and cook for about 3 minutes, in the same pan as you cooked the chicken. Then add chopped celery, carrot, mushrooms, pepper, and garlic with an additional generous pinch of salt and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables have softened.

Add rest of ingredients: then add to the cooked vegetables half the can of tomatoes, tomato paste, red pepper flakes, rosemary &amp; sage, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt &amp; black pepper. Stir the ingredients together and use a wooden spoon to deglaze the bottom of the pan, removing any bits from the bottom that will add flavor.

Add the chicken and bake: add the chicken thighs back to the dish and pour the remaining tomatoes over the chicken with some black pepper sprinkled over top. Cover and bake at 350F for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh basil over top then serve!

Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore Recipe

chicken

olives, olives

onion,

red bell pepper, finely chopped

crimini mushrooms, sliced

½ teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

Stir diced tomatoes and tomato paste together in the bottom of a large slow cooker.

Mix smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper in a small dish.

Lay chicken on a sheet of parchment. Sprinkle all over the chicken turning pieces to coat completely.

Arrange chicken in the sauce in the slow cooker. Pour any extra spices from the parchment on top.

Cover and set slow cooker to low for 6 hours.

When timer goes off, carefully pull chicken out of the cooker, keeping thighs intact if possible.

Stir rosemary and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt into the vegetable mixture. Serve the vegetable mixture and sauce with the chicken.

So good even the teens loved it and I doubled the amount of smoked paprika!

Did not disappoint!  I was looking for a relatively simple slow-cooker recipe for Chicken Cacciatore and I found this recipe.  A slight bit of prep work (as opposed to throwing everything into the pot at once), but coating the chicken first and laying it on the tomato base was a good idea.  I didn't have smoked paprika or fresh rosemary, but I substituted hot Hungarian paprika and dried rosemary leaves instead.  I had to look up cremini mushrooms because my grocery didn't have any, but I found they are just a slightly more mature version of white button mushrooms, and they had baby bella, which I gather is just another name for the same thing. 

The choice of chicken thighs over breasts was a pleasant surprise, as I tend to favor light chicken over dark.  But in this case, the dark meat was moist, flavorful, literally falling off the bone. 

I have a couple of thighs left over, so I'll see what else I can do with them, but I had a great experience -- and a great meal (served over some thick spaghetti) -- cooking this recipe!

Love this and have made twice. Could I freeze it?

This was such a simple, delicious recipe!  I used thin boneless chicken breasts as well as boneless thighs.  I used sliced Kalamata olives in place of ripe olives, because that’s what I had.  Cooked on high for 4hrs.  Did not add salt or rosemary at the end, not that I wouldn’t next time.  And, YES, there will be a next time!  Thank you for this recipe!

This is SO good and couldn’t be simpler. It has made it into our rotation and it’s delicious every time! So easy to make gluten free by simply using GF noodles. Thank you!

I just realized that I didn’t remove the skin from the bone-in thighs after putting the lid on the crockpot.  Is it OK to leave the skin on and do I need to cook the chicken longer?   Thank you.  

Not sure where I went wrong??? Followed the recipe to the letter. It was bland and disappointing. I had to add some spices to try to add zip. My family won’t eat the leftovers. Won’t be making again.
