Chicken Cacciatore Feast
Ingredients
  • 1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup peanut oil
  • 2 cups onions, cut into thin rings
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, drained
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup sherry
Instructions
1
Firstly, take the chicken pieces and gently remove any excess moisture with a paper towel. Next, place them in a bowl or resealable plastic bag and coat evenly with flour.
2
Subsequently, heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow it to reach its optimal temperature before adding the chicken, which should take about 15 minutes and result in a golden-brown color on all sides. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a separate container.
3
In the same skillet, combine the onions, green bell pepper, and garlic. Allow these ingredients to soften and become translucent over a period of 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next, add the mushrooms to the skillet and continue cooking until they release their liquid and become almost tender, approximately another 10 minutes.
4
Now, pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, oregano, and sherry. Mix these ingredients thoroughly before adding the cooked chicken pieces and any accumulated juices.
5
Finally, bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken meat is tender, no longer pink in its thickest part, and the juices run clear.
