Another Yummy Italian One

Recommended Posts

Chicken Cacciatore.

 

'Cacciatore' literally means 'hunter' in Italian, and this 'hunter style' dish makes good use of mushrooms (easily available to hunters trekking through forests!), onions tomatoes and herbs. If desired, serve over spaghetti.

 

Ingredients Serves: 8


250g plain flour for coating
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 whole 2 to 2.5kg chicken, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (400g) tin chopped tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
125ml white wine
1 green pepper, chopped
200g punnet fresh mushrooms, quartered
salt and pepper to taste

 

Method

 

Prep:20min › Cook:50min › Ready in:1hr10min

 


Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a plastic bag. Shake the chicken pieces in flour until coated. Heat the oil in a large frying pan (one with a cover/lid). Fry the chicken pieces until they are browned on both sides. Remove from pan.
Add the onion, garlic and pepper to the pan and saute until the onion is slightly browned. Return the chicken to the pan and add the tomatoes, oregano and wine. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes over medium low heat.
Add the mushrooms and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 more minutes.
