Chicken Cacciatore
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 - 3
    pounds meaty chicken pieces (breast halves, thighs, and drumsticks)
  • 2
    tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2
    cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1
    medium onion, sliced
  • 1
    clove garlic, minced
  • 1
    14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1
    6 ounce can tomato paste
  • 3/4
    cup dry white wine
  • 1
    teaspoon sugar
  • 1
    teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
  • 1/2
    teaspoon salt
  • 1/8
    teaspoon black pepper
  • 1
    tablespoon snipped fresh parsley
  • Hot cooked fettuccine or linguine (optional)
Directions

1. Skin chicken. In a large skillet brown chicken on all sides in hot oil over medium heat about 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove chicken from skillet, reserving drippings in skillet; set chicken aside.

2. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic to drippings in skillet. Cook and stir about 5 minutes or until vegetables are just tender. Return chicken to skillet.

3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour over chicken in skillet. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F for breasts; 180 degrees F for thighs and drumsticks), turning once during cooking. Sprinkle with parsley. If desired, serve over hot cooked pasta. Makes 6 servings.
