HUNTER STYLE CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large pot over low heat, and cook and stir the garlic until tender but not browned, about 3 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes with their juice, and mash with a potato masher to leave the tomatoes in chunks. Stir in tomato paste, red wine, sugar, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper, and mix until the tomato paste is smoothly combined into the sauce. Bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring often, while you prepare the vegetables.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the carrot and celery until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir into the sauce. In the same skillet, cook and stir the green peppers and onions until the onions are translucent, 5 to 8 more minutes; mix them to the sauce. Heat 1 more tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet, and cook and stir the mushrooms until they give up their liquid, about 10 minutes; stir the mushrooms into the sauce. Allow sauce to simmer while you cook the chicken.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl. Place the flour in a separate shallow bowl. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip chicken pieces in egg, then dredge in flour. Tap off any excess flour, and brown the chicken pieces in the hot oil until browned on both sides, about 15 minutes. Set the chicken pieces aside.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Spoon about 1 cup of the tomato sauce into the bottom of a large Dutch oven. Place the chicken pieces into the Dutch oven, and pour remaining sauce and vegetables over the chicken; cover.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is tender and no longer pink inside, about 1 hour. If sauce begins to boil harder than a simmer, reduce oven heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• About 15 minutes before serving time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Stir in the linguine pasta, bring back to a boil, and cook, stirring often, until the linguine is tender but still slightly firm, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the pasta well.
• Turn the linguine out onto a large platter, and top with the chicken and sauce. Sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan cheese to serve.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE {ITALIAN HUNTER'S CHICKEN}

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry; season with salt and pepper to taste. Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour to coat lightly, shaking off any excess.
• In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook just until brown, about 5-6 minutes per side. Brown the chicken in two separate batches, if necessary, so that you don't overcrowd the pan. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the bell peppers, onion and garlic; cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juice, using a wooden spoon to break the tomatoes into smaller pieces.
• Stir in the broth, sugar, oregano and rosemary. Return the chicken pieces to the pot and turn to coat in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue simmering over medium-low heat until the chicken is just cooked through, about 30 minutes for breast pieces (or about 20 minutes if using thighs).
• Use tongs to transfer the chicken pieces to a serving platter. Increase the heat and bring the sauce to a boil. Boil the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, garnish with fresh basil, and serve!

CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Steps:

• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Season the chicken parts with salt and pepper. Working in batches, fry the chicken until golden brown, about 7 minutes per side. Set the browned chicken aside on a platter. Discard the oil. Return the Dutch oven to the heat and add the remaining oil. Saute the pancetta until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon and reserve. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add the garlic and marjoram or oregano and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the wine and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until the liquid is reduced by about two thirds. Add the reserved pancetta, tomatoes, and puree; season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the sauce to a slow simmer and partially cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors come together, about 35 to 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add the chicken pieces to the simmering sauce and cook for 1 minute to heat through. Transfer the pan to the oven, and cook the chicken until tender, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer the meat to a heated platter, and cover loosely with foil. With a large spoon or ladle, skim any fat off the surface of the sauce and discard. Stir the parsley into the sauce, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.
