Light Chicken Cacciatore Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Heat olive oil on medium high in a large pan with high sides.
  • Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Lightly coat the chicken on both sides, shaking off any excess. Add chicken to the pan when oil is hot (it should sizzle); you may need to do 2 at a time so that each piece has room to brown. Cook about 4 minutes on each side, or until browned, but not cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Add a bit more oil to the pan, and add in the bell pepper, onion, leek, and garlic, cooking until just tender (about 3 minutes). Add the tomatoes, mushrooms, wine, and herbs (reserve half of the basil). Bring to a simmer, adding salt & pepper if necessary.
  • Meanwhile, boil water for your pasta, cooking normally. When pasta is al dente, take about 1/2 cup of the water and add it to the pan, before draining.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink in the middle. Remove chicken from the pan and let rest at least 5 minutes. Slice into thin strips, if you'd like.
  • Once pasta is drained, stir into the sauce. If your pan is not large enough for this, add it to a bowl, and pour the sauce over. Add the rest of the basil, and serve hot with the chicken. Sprinkle with parmesan.
