Photo: Chicken Cacciatore Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 ounces fatback, scored, optional
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
- Frank's Marinara Sauce, recipe follows
- One 16-ounce package linguine, cooked and kept warm
Directions
Add the fatback to a skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Cook until tender, about 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate.
Add Frank's Marinara Sauce, stirring to combine. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve over the linguine.
Frank's Marinara Sauce:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 12 ounces fatback, scored, optional
- 3 cloves garlic, mashed
- 1/2 onion, diced
- One 35-ounce can whole tomatoes, such as San Marnano Tomato's
- Salt and ground pepper
- Dried oregano
- 6 fresh basil leaves, torn
In heavy pot, heat the oil. Then add the fatback (if using) and garlic and saute until golden brown. Remove the fatback, then add the onions and saute until soft, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the tomatoes (crush by hand into the pot). Bring to a boil, add salt to taste, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Add salt, pepper and oregano to taste.
After finished, turn off the heat and add the basil.

I made this two weeks ago and my husband hasn't stopped raving about it. I don't eat meat, but I did taste the sauce. It was really good, all I needed was some cheese or good bread to dip in it.

Absolutely the BOMB!!!!! Thanks for sharing, Frank!!!!! Don't be shy on the garlic, and definitely use the fatback for both the sauce and chicken. I couldn't find "fatback", but found salt pork, which looks similar to bacon, but more fat and just cut into pieces and sauteed it into onions on both sauce and chicken and left it in the recipe, which just gave it more flavor. This is one of those recipes that is so simple, but absolutely delicious!!!! A KEEPER!!!!!

Delicious and easy. Rao's Marinara sauce is available in a lot of grocery stores,too. It does eliminate a step.
As a side note, why would someone give a mediocre review just because of a misspelling of a word?? That's ridiculous! Just sayin'!!
