chicken cacciatore

CHICKEN CACCIATORE - MAMA MIA, YOU WILLA' LOVAH' THIS ONE..
 

anyway.. this is a huge favorite with my father in law who happens to be Italian, so i take huge pride in knowing i can cook something with 'gravy' and it be to his standards..shhhh, don't tell him i found a wonderful jar of 'sauce' that he loves.

you will need:

1 container cremini mushrooms, quartered
1 red pepper, sliced
1 green pepper, sliced
1 yellow pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
a nice sprinkling of oregano
s&p
drizzles of olive oil
chicken, i use the tenders- (and i tend to make a lot!! but i also have used bone in breasts in the past & it is equally delicious)
2 jars of RAO'S homemade 'GRAVY/SAUCE/WHATEVER'


-first, preheat oven to 375 and place your veggies and chicken into an oven safe deep casserole dish.. sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano & drizzle with olive oil. cover with aluminum foil for 20minutes.
-wait until it is cooked down with yummy veggie juices.. then cover the chicken & veggie mix with 2 jars of RAO's homemade sauce.. ( i swear it is all about this sauce.. i know its expensive, if you want to buy one and use tomato paste and a lil bit of water, it will be delicious as well )
-check on it every 25minutes.. i usually cook mine until almost all the juices are gone and it carmellizes on side of the dish..

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! it is so easy & so wonderful especially this time of year when it is absolutely frigid outside.
BON APPETIT!!
