Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 (3-pound) chicken cut into eighths
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper, thinly julienned
  • 1 serrano or jalapeno chile, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 1 cup low-sodium canned chicken broth
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes and their juices
  • 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar or capers
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1 pound spaghetti (size 8 or 9) cooked al dente
  • Basil sprigs
  • Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Directions

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Season the chicken pieces on both sides with salt and pepper and place in the pan, skin side down and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the breasts over and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the chicken to a large plate.

Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat until almost smoking. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown, season with salt and pepper and remove to a plate.

Add the onion and bell pepper to the pan and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the serrano, garlic and chili flakes to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the wine and cook until almost completely reduced. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, and rosemary and bring to a simmer. Return the chicken and mushrooms to the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan and cook until the chicken is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon to a large shallow bowl and tent loosely with foil.

Increase the heat to high and cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the vinegar and basil and pour the sauce over the chicken. Garnish with fresh basil sprigs. Serve over spaghetti and sprinkle with grated cheese.

    This was great. The family loved it and the wife told me to add it to my collection of recipes that I cook from :. Pretty easy and just great really good flavor. I did thicken up the sauce a bit with a little bit of cream and flour and happy I did

    Love, love, love this recipe. Best chicken cacciatore recipe ever. Although, a little time consuming, well worth it. Has some spice to it but we liked it. There are so many delicious layers of flavor in this dish.

    I have to tell you that this dish is to die for. I made this dish for my husband and my grandson.
    They raved about it and my husband said anyone would pay $30.00 for this dish. My husband went on to say he wants me to make it for company that we invite over. I felt really good that they loved it. five star rating for sure. Thank you Bobby
