What's for Dinner Sunday Edition: Chicken Caccitore

Hello! Sunday dinner, slow cooked and satisfying Chicken Caccitore. In the video I refer to the word Caccitore meaning "country style" however, I remember (after I uploaded the video) that it does indeed mean "Hunter style" So, there you have it. This is what you will need to make Chicken Caccitore:

2-3 pounds of chicken leg quarters (or one cut up chicken)
4 slice of bacon cut into "lardon" or small slices
1 medium onion chopped
4-5 cloves of garlic chopped
1 bell pepper sliced
1 pound of button or baby bella mushrooms quartered
Olive oil
1 Tbsp each, fresh rosemary, thyme and sage chopped finely. If using dried herbs use one Teaspoon of each.
2 pints or 2 cans of stewed tomatoes or you can use what you have, crushed, diced, sliced, whatever!
1 or 2 cups of chicken stock
Egg noodles

Begin by browning off your chicken pieces in a heavy skillet, when done remove to a baking dish or the crock pot or your roaster/slow cooker pan. Drain the chicken fat from the pan and add the bacon. cook until the bacon is browned but not too over done. Add your garlic and onion and cook until translucent, add your bell pepper and cook just a few minutes. Add these veggies to the pan with the chicken. Don't worry about distributing them evenly, that will work itself out later.

Next, take half of your quartered mushrooms and add them to the pan with about a teaspoon of olive oil. Cook until they are lightly browned and have rendered all their liquid. You should have a lightly moist pan. You can now do the remaining mushrooms in the same fashion. Add the mushrooms to the pan with the chicken and vegetables.

Add in the chopped or dried herbs as well as the chicken stock and the tomatoes. Give everything a gentle nudge to incorporated all of the ingredients.

If you are using a slow cooker put your pan in and set your thermostat to 325 for 30 minutes then turn down to 300 and let cook for 3 hours.

If you are using a crock pot, put your crock in and cover and set it on high for 1 hour and then turn to low for two to three hours until the chicken pulls away from the bone.

If you are cooking this in the oven, I recommend that you use a glass baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 for 1 hour and then turn down to 325 for 2 hours just until the chicken falls away from the bone or it is done to your liking.

After the chicken has cooked, but about 30 minutes before it is done, add fresh green beans to the mix and let them steam. If you don't have fresh, use frozen or canned, just only do those for about 15 minutes.

NOTE: If you choose to use a whole cut up chicken or bone in chicken breasts, remember the following. Chicken breasts take less time to cook than the dark meat. If you are cooking both light and dark meat, cook the dark meat for about 30 minutes before you put the light meat in with it. This way the light meat does not dry out.

If you are only cooking bone in chicken breasts, only cook them for about 2 hours in the oven or monitor them at about an hour and a half in the crock pot or slow cooker.

Cook up some egg noodles and serve with some crusty bread and you have a wonderful, slow cooked Sunday meal, fit for more than the hunters among us!

Thank you for watching, until next time, See Ya!

That's a dish I've been wondering about ! Going to try it next week. (too busy this week)

[atticus9799]

You could throw everything in the crock pot in the morning except for the beans and just let it cook on low all day. You could even put your chicken in frozen. I know about having little time! Thanks for watching!
