Classic Chicken Cacciatore with a Special Ingredient...
Chicken Cacciatore (Hunter's Chicken) is such a great recipe! I encourage you to use skin-on chicken thighs and chicken legs for this classic Italian chicken recipe. The crispy skin along with the combination of oil-cured black olives, Sicilian green olives, peppers, onions, and tomatoes all in a hearty white wine tomato sauce is truly the best! I hope you make and enjoy this classic chicken alla cacciatore recipe.

Chicken Cacciatore
RECIPE COURTESY OF TYLER FLORENCE
Level: Easy
Total: 50 min
Prep: 20 min
Cook: 30 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
6 red bell peppers
Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 egg
2 cups milk
1 (3 1/2-pound) whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces
6 garlic cloves, halved lengthwise
1 onion, sliced thin
2 ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1/2 lemon, sliced in paper-thin circles
3 anchovy fillets
1 tablespoon capers
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 bunch fresh basil, hand-torn (1/4 bunch to flavor the base, 1/4 bunch to finish the dish)
1 cup dry white wine
Directions
Start by preparing the peppers because they will take the longest. Preheat the broiler. Pull out the cores of the red peppers; then halve them lengthwise and remove the ribs and seeds. Toss the peppers with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them on a cookie sheet, skin side up, and broil for 10 minutes, until really charred and blistered. Put the peppers into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and steam for about 10 minutes to loosen the skins. Peel the peppers and roughly chop into chunks; set aside.
Season the flour with the garlic powder, dried oregano, and a fair amount of salt and pepper. Whisk the egg and milk together in a shallow bowl. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour and tap off the excess. Dip each piece in the egg wash to coat and then dredge with the flour again. Place a Dutch oven over medium heat and pour in about 1/4-inch of oil. Pan-fry the chicken in batches, skin side down, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Turn the chicken over and brown the other side about 10 minutes longer. Remove the chicken to a side plate, pour out the oil, and clean out the pot.
Put the pot back on the stove and coat with 1/4 cup of oil. Add the garlic, onion, tomatoes, lemon slices, anchovies, capers, red pepper flakes, half the roasted red peppers, and half the basil. Season with salt and pepper. This part of the recipe is going to be your base. What we are looking for is a fragrant vegetable pulp, so simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring often, until everything breaks down.
Add the remaining roasted peppers and the remaining basil. Tuck the chicken into the stewed peppers and pour in the wine. Turn the heat down to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked.

Mom's Chicken Cacciatore
RECIPE COURTESY OF VALERIE BERTINELLI
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 15 min
Active: 45 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, skin removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 pound sliced cremini mushrooms
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
One 28-ounce can whole tomatoes, cut up with kitchen shears
3/4 cup halved black olives
2 tablespoons drained capers
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
Directions
Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then toss them in a bowl with the flour to lightly coat.
Heat the olive oil in a large, wide pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the thighs and cook, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the thighs to a plate.
Add the onion and mushrooms to the pot and cook, stirring, until the onion is softened and the mushrooms are lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and bell peppers and cook, stirring, until the peppers are just starting to soften, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a boil, then cook, scraping up any brown bits, until reduced by about half. Add the oregano and rosemary. Add the tomatoes and their juice and bring to a simmer. Add the olives and capers. Return the chicken to the pot, nestling in the sauce. Reduce the heat to keep the sauce at a gentle simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes.
Sprinkle with the basil. Serve immediately.

Chicken Cacciatore Recipe
Also known as chicken hunter style. An awesome combination of flavours makes this dish incredibly tasty. There are many variations of this recipe, this version has more of a Southern Italian influence with olives and anchovies. Another similar dish is the Chicken Chasseur, from France also meaning hunter style which is made with tarragon.
