TIA'S CROCK POT SPICY CHICKEN CACCIATORE



Tia's Crock Pot Spicy Chicken Cacciatore image

I made this up out of several different recipes. Since we love things fairly spicy it took humdrum to very nice spice!!! Note that I do not brown chicken first...just toss it in the crock pot. Also...I am not very good about measuring...although since zaar membership I am trying harder....so always taste to decide if you need more of a spice. I am also not sure of the crock pot cooking time as I am at home checking it and stirring occasionally...will try and get that down better next time I make it. Enjoy!

SPICY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN CACCIATORE WITH WINE



Spicy Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore with Wine image

This is a delicious chicken cacciatore recipe that stems from my family's traditional recipes. Very flavorful and full of wholesome vegetables with an amazing flavor. So many tomato sauces are so bitter, but this utilizes plain white sugar to cut the bitterness and soften the sauce to make it delicious! This will end up sweet, savory, and spicy. Simple and easy to make as well! Serve over choice of pasta, rice, or just plain.

SPICY CHICKEN CACCIATORE



Spicy chicken cacciatore image

With a tub of homemade tomato sauce in the fridge, this dish is a cinch

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tbsp olive oil
4 chicken leg portions, skin on
2 red peppers , deseeded and cut into strips
1 medium red chilli , deseeded and sliced
glass red wine (about 175ml/6fl oz)
½ quantity tomato sauce (see 'Goes well with')
1-2 handfuls black olives
chopped flatleaf parsley , to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a deep, ovenproof roasting pan that's big enough to fit the chicken in a single layer. Season the chicken pieces all over, then place the pan on the hob and cook on a medium heat for 7-10 mins on each side until well browned. Scoop out the chicken with a slotted spoon and put to one side.
  • Add the peppers and chilli to the pan (there should still be plenty of fat left in it) and cook for 10 mins until soft and beginning to brown at the edges. Pour away any excess fat, then pour in the wine and stir well for 1-2 mins as it bubbles up. Tip the tomato sauce into the pan and stir again. Add a little water (up to 150ml) to achieve a thick, pouring consistency. Nestle the chicken into the sauce and scatter with the olives. Cover, bake for 30 mins, then uncover and cook for 15-20 mins more to allow the chicken to crisp up. Spoon off any fat that has risen to the surface, scatter with parsley and serve with some rice, mashed potato or polenta.

SPICY CHICKEN CACCIATORE



Spicy Chicken Cacciatore image

From the Feb 2008 issue of Food and Wine Magazine. Haven't tried this yet, posting here so I can try it later. The recipe calls for 3 pounds of boneless chicken thighs. I wasn't even aware they made such a thing, so I'm going to list it as chicken breasts. They suggest to serve it with risotto and a Sangiovese wine.
