Chicken Cacciatore Recipe (Serves 4)
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into bite size pieces
1/4 all purpose flour
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups diced onion
1 cup diced green pepper
1 cup diced mushrooms
2 tsp minced garlic
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
2 cups thick tomato pasta sauce
1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup diced rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes*
1 tbsp brown sugar
Directions:
Dust the chicken with flour. Heat the oil in a stock pot over medium heat and cook chicken until seared and brown on all sides but not cooked through. Remove from pan.
Add onions and cook for about 5 minutes or until soft and brown. Stir in green peppers, mushrooms and garlic and cook for 5 minutes or until veggies are soft.
Stir in remaning ingredients and chicken. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
*Tip about sundried tomatoes: Buy dried sun-dried tomatoes, not the ones packed in oil. Rehydrate them by covering with water and microwaving for 1 minute on high or by leaving them to soak in hot water for 15 minutes.
