Authentic Chicken Cacciatore is an Italian classic, and you’ll never get a more succulent home cooked meal than this recipe! Easy to make and loved by the entire family! Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy cast iron skillet. Sear chicken on both sides until golden, about 3-4 minutes each side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Add remaining oil to the pan. Sauté the onion until transparent, about 3-4 minutes. Add in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften. Pour in the wine, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook until wine is reduced, about 2 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, Roma tomatoes and chill flakes.

Season with salt and pepper to your tastes. Return chicken pieces to the skillet and continue to cook over stove top OR in the oven following the instructions below. If the sauce is too thin for your liking, add 2 tablespoons of extra tomato paste while it’s simmering to thicken. This chicken cacciatore can be made up to 1 day ahead, cooled, covered and refrigerated.
