Chicken Cacciatore

I also tested a recipe for Chicken Cacciatore that was absolutely wonderful! I just had to share it with you. I will definitely be adding this recipe to my monthly menu. I tested this recipe using chicken thighs but you can also make this with chicken breasts to a lower fat content.

Assembly Directions:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken thighs 5 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

Add the onions, red pepper and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms have softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

Pour in the tomato sauce, tomatoes, chicken broth, and rosemary. Stir until completely combined. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir again.

Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is done.

Freezing Directions:
Cool. Place chicken and sauce in a freezer bag or container. Seal, label, and freeze.

Serving Directions:
Thaw chicken mixture in refrigerator. Reheat on the stovetop in a skillet or a large saucepan. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Serve chicken and sauce over the spaghetti.
