Cacciatore means "hunter" in Italian. In cuisine, alla cacciatora refers to a meal prepared "hunter-style" with tomatoes, onions, herbs, often bell pepper, and sometimes wine. Cacciatore is popularly made with braised chicken (pollo alla cacciatora). I have been on an Italian kick lately so may as well keep them coming!
3 tbsp olive or coconut oil
1 (3 lb) chicken breasts, cut up
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1/2 lb mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (16 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1 tsp dried oregano
1 large bell pepper, cut into 1" pieces
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. When pan is hot, add chicken and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Add onions and mushrooms to the hot pan and sauté until onions are slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Stir well. Return chicken to pan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes, until chicken is tender.
