Chicken Cacciatore

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 bone-in chicken thighs

  • 1 carrot, peeled and sliced

  • 1 medium onion-diced

  • 1 small yellow pepper, diced

  • 1 small red pepper, diced

  • 1 Roma tomato, roughly chopped

  • 8 sprigs of thyme

  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 2 Tablespoons fresh minced garlic

  • ½ cup red wine

  • 1 can of crushed tomatoes

  • 2 Tablespoons tomato paste

  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • Salt and pepper to taste along the way

  • Fresh parsley and fresh basil for garnish


Method

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper

  2. Heat 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy cast-iron skillet or frying pan, and sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

  3. Add the remaining oil and cook the carrots, onions, peppers, and herbs for about 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  4. Pour in the wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the wine has reduced, about 2 minutes.

  5. Add crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, along with Roma tomatoes, chili flakes, and additional salt and pepper. Cook for about 1 minute, then add the chicken to the pan and cover.

  6. Cook on the stovetop, covered, over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the chicken falls off the bone.

  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and basil.
