Chicken Cacciatore

Recipe by

Chicken Cacciatore is a simple and traditional Italian comfort food to cook as a family dinner dish. Cacciatore means hunter in Italian which means that the dish is prepared in a hunter-style manner where you throw everything (vegetables and meat) in a big pot and you serve it as a one pot dish! It is a stew dish simmered with tomatoes and in Italy, other than chicken meat, you can actually find rabbit cacciatore! Different region in Italy uses different types of wine in their recipe. You can use either red or white or anything that you can find in your pantry.

Ingredients

4 pieces Chicken Thighs Boneless Skin on
5 grams Salt
5 gram Black Pepper
15 gram flour
3 tbsp Oil
1 each Red Capsicum chopped
1 each Onion diced
3 cloves Garlic chopped
3/4 cup Red Wine
500 grams Tomato canned
1/2 cup Water
1 piece Chicken Stock Cube
3 tbsp Capers drained
1.5 tsp Oregano dried
1 tsp Basil Dried
1 stalk Fresh Parsley to Garnish
1 pinch Salt and Black Pepper

Instructions

Marinate the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and thinly flour the pieces. In a hot fry pan, with a little oil, start browning the chicken. When up to colour, remove and set aside.
In the same pan, saute the onions until translucent, then add garlic and capsicum to saute.
When cooked, deglazed the pan with red wine and add your tomato, water, chicken stock cube, capers, oregano and basil.
Bring the mix to a simmer, then returned your browned chicken - and let it cook through for about 30 minutes or so. The juices should reduce into a nice thick sauce.
Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with some fresh parsley to serve.

I was a runner up in Singapore's Masterchef Competition Season 2. Cooking has been a passion of mine since I was young. I would always follow my grandma to the wet markets to buy groceries and watch her whip up amazing dishes. Always inspired by my grandma, I look to continue her journey in the culinary world.
