WHat Is Chicken Cacciatore?

Chicken Cacciatore is an Italian dish made from chicken braised in a tomato-based sauce with onion, garlic, mushrooms, bell peppers, wine, and capers. It’s a classic and simple dish that’s hearty enough to fill your grumbling belly!

Here’s what you’ll need to make Chicken Cacciatore:

Chicken Thighs: Bone-in, skin-on thighs add a lot of extra flavor to this dish, but you can also use boneless, skinless thighs.
Salt and Pepper: Salt and pepper are classic seasonings that enhance the flavor of the chicken.
All-Purpose Flour: A little bit of flour helps to seal in moisture and creates a crispy crust on the chicken.
Olive Oil: Olive oil (or cooking oil of your choice– vegetable or canola can help cut costs) helps everything cook without burning.
Onion and Garlic: Alliums are classic flavor enhancers that create a savory base for this dish.
Baby Bella Mushrooms: These mushrooms have a mild flavor and a meaty texture that adds a wonderful earthy component
