Alice's Chicken Cacciatore
Ingredients
- 4-6 large, boneless chicken breasts, seasoned
- Flour
- Olive oil
- 1 (16-oz.) container of chopped onion mix
- 3 T. minced garlic
- 1 of each color bell pepper (red, yellow, orange, green), seeded and cut into strips
- 1 (8-oz.) container sliced mushrooms

- 4 bay leaves
- 1 t. dried thyme

- ½ c. sugar
- 1 (6-oz.) can tomato paste

- Freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Salt, black pepper, garlic powder
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Dredge the chicken in flour that has some salt and pepper added to it. Shake and coat chicken well and shake off excess.
- Drizzle enough olive oil in large roasting pot to cover the bottom and heat.
- Add chicken and brown on both sides. Remove chicken and drain and keep covered to keep warm.
- To the pot add the onion and garlic and saute until tender.
- Stir in the pimento, diced tomato, tomato paste and sugar. Saute for another 5-8 minutes.
- Add the pureed tomatoes, mushrooms, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, basil and wine or vermouth. Stir to mix well.
- Let the mixture cook for about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken in, bring to boil, reduce heat, uncovered for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally. Taste for seasoning.
- Stir in bell pepper strips and cook another 30 minutes over low heat. Stir occasionally.
- Taste for seasoning again.
- Serve over hot pasta, sprinkle with cheese and fresh parsley.
Notes
*****When I made this dish, I had fresh Creole tomatoes. If you do not have very tasty tomatoes, increase the canned diced tomatoes to make up the difference. I also at the time had some pasta mixed with some fresh corn kernels and shrimp. I just served this dish over that pasta.
