Chicken Cacciatore
I have been making this meal forever – it always turns out delicious and it is one of the easiest things I make. I basically throw everything in the pot and one hour later boom it’s done! This is also one of my favorite thing to eat as a leftover (it might even be better the second day!) It makes a large quantity at once and we eat it all week!
Once the sauce is started – which consists of the tomato juice and paste – you throw in the sliced peppers and onions along with the chicken. As everything cooks in the sauce over the hour it becomes very tender and the sauce gives it a ton of flavor.
I love eating this with brown rice, but you can definitely leave that out for a healthier option – I like it both ways!
Ingredients:
- 1 46 oz can Sacramento tomato juice (or Campbell’s)
- 1 12 oz can Hunt’s tomato paste
- 2-3 boneless chicken breasts
- 3 peppers
- 1 onion
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Pepper
- Canola oil
- Brown rice
Directions:
- In a large pot add a small amount of canola oil to the pot and heat for about a minute. Then add tomato juice and tomato paste. Stir to break up paste.
- Slice peppers and onions.
- Cut chicken breasts in halves or thirds, depending on size.
- Add peppers, onions and chicken to the pot and make sure they are submerged in the sauce.
- Add garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Cook over medium heat for about one hour.
