Directions
Kittencal’s Chicken Cacciatore, Coating in flour then browning firstly will insure your chicken will be moist and tender and also add extra flavor to this dish, you will need a large skillet for this or you may use a pot, use my wide 5-quart chicken fryer skillet — if you are not an olive-lover you may omit, they really do add flavor to this dish, but do not use black olives — adjust the chili flakes to suit heat level, using good-quality canned Italian diced tomatoes will only improve the flavor of this dish also for the best flavor I would strongly suggest to use only skin-on bone-in chicken for this — made as stated this make a delicious restaurant-quality dish paired with cooked pasta and sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top , I made this recipe last night and it was delicious! I halved the recipe but next time I will only halve the amount of chicken and still make full amount of sauce as it was so good Only made a couple of minor changes used red bell pepper instead of green I did not have canned diced tomatoes so used a can of stewed tomatoes which I think enhanced the recipe After all this is a stew isn’t it? I left out the olives because I hate olives Served it over spaghetti Even my picky eater loved it!, I made this last night and it was Yummy! I only used 4 chicken thighs and reduced the recipe in half! Loved it I served it with cavatappi pasta!
