Healthy Chicken Cacciatore with Garden-Fresh Vegetables

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I am not usually fussy for chicken cacciatore but decided to give this a try. We thought it was great! used a few breasts and legs, reduced the olive oil to 1/4 C and threw in a bit of green pepper that needed to be used up. Because it was quite a hot day, I cooked it start to finish in an electric skillet which worked great. I served it over recipe #368427. I will certainly make this many more times. Thanks for the recipe!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Mix Salt, Pepper& Flour Together.

    2
    Done

    Wash Chicken (taking Off Excess Skin& Roll in Flour Mixture).

    3
    Done

    Put a Little Onion& a Bit of the Garlic& a Few Whole Basil Leaves in 3/4 the Oil, Then Brown Chicken on All Sides in the Oil.

    4
    Done

    Remove from the Pan and Drain on Paper Towels (may Need to Add More Oil as You Go Along).

    5
    Done

    Remove Gristle from Pan, Leaving the Oil; Add the Onion& Half the Garlic and Stir Until Onion Is Just Wilted, Then Add, Zucchini& Mushrooms- Cook, Stirring For a Moment (not Long, It Will Also Be Cooking in the Oven).

    6
    Done

    Place the Browned Chicken Pieces Into a Large Oven-Proof Casserole& Pour the Onion-Veggie Mixture Over the Chicken.

    7
    Done

    in the Same Frying Pan, Add the Rest (1/4 Cup) of the Oil& Add the Other Half of the Garlic, Then Add the Crushed Tomatoes, Bay Leaves, Italian Spices, and Wine.

    8
    Done

    Simmer a Few Minutes.

    9
    Done

    Pour Over the Chicken, Cover and Bake in a 350 Degree Oven About 45 Minutes or Until the Chicken Is Done; Then, Uncover the Chicken, Top With Chopped Basil& Parmesan and Bake an Additional 15-20 Minutes to Allow Cheese to Melt& Sauce to Thicken.

    10
    Done

    Serve With White Rice With a Little of the Sauce on Top.

    11
    Done

    Note: to Reduce Fat& Calories, You Can Remove the Skin from the Chicken& Omit the Olive Oil from the Sauce.

    12
    Done

    I Prefer to Remove the Skin While Eating- the Basil& Chesse Form a Kind of Crust So You Can Still Have That Without the Skin.

    13
    Done

    Cooking With the Skin on Keeps the Chicken Moist.
