Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs or chicken breast
  • olive oil
  • 1/2 spanish onion sliced
  • 1/4 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup halved mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • italian seasoning
  • oregano
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes 28 oz.
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • a few pinches of flour
  • 4 servings of pasta

Instructions
 

  • If using chicken thighs, remove skin, bones, and cut into chunks.
  • In a pan on medium heat, add about two tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Once heated, add chicken into the pan, cooking for about five minutes, until it's cooked about half-way through.
  • Remove chicken, and add onion into the pan, adding more olive oil if necessary.
  • Saute onions until they begin to turn translucent (about five minutes), then add in the bell pepper and mushrooms, cooking until softened (5-8 minutes).
  • Add in italian seasoning, and oregano to taste, along with the minced garlic, stirring to mix with other ingredients.
  • Add a can of diced tomatoes and 1/2 a cup of chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reducing heat until liquid is simmering, add your chicken back into the pan, along with a few pinches of flour to thicken the liquid and cook for about 15-20 minutes until liquid has reduced into a sauce like consistency.
  • While your sauce is reducing, cook pasta according to package directions, top with chicken cacciatore and enjoy!
  • Feel free to sprinkle on some fresh parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley if you're feeling a little fancy. I know I was!
