THE BEST CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Chicken cacciatore is a hearty and flavorful Italian dish! It’s a super easy one pot meal. The combination of chicken in tomato sauce with mushrooms, bell peppers and capers makes this one of my favorite comfort foods! To see the recipe, click on the link below 😊.

Chicken Cacciatore

Ingredients
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast cut into chicken tender size (use chicken thighs if preferred)
1 onion, sliced
1 bell pepper, sliced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
16 oz canned tomato sauce
1 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons capers

Directions
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a pan over medium high heat and sear chicken about 2 minutes per side (does not need to be cooked through, will finish cooking with the sauce). Remove and set aside.
Add more oil to the pan and sauté onions, bell peppers, mushrooms and garlic while scraping the bottom of the pan with your spoon or spatula. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 5 minutes.
Stir in dried oregano, tomato sauce, chicken broth and capers and season with salt and pepper.
Return chicken back to the pan and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer over medium low for 10 minutes.
