Pollo alla Cacciatora - Italian Recipe

Pollo alla Cacciatora

🌍 Italian, Tuscany/National Difficulty: ●●●○○

A hunter's chicken braised with tomatoes, olives, and rosemary. Brown the joints hard in a single layer — crowding the pan steams the chicken instead of colouring it. The sauce should reduce enough to coat each piece, not flood the plate.

Ingredients

• 1 chicken, jointed
• 1 onion, 2 garlic cloves
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 400g canned tomatoes
• 200ml white wine
• Capers, olives, rosemary, bay

Method

1. Browning — Brown chicken pieces; remove.
2. Sautéing — Sauté onion, garlic, pepper.
3. Adding — Add wine, tomatoes, capers, olives, herbs.
4. Step 4 — Return chicken; braise 40 min.
