Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
27g
8 chicken thighs
800g
1 cup mushrooms
230g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/3 cup white wine
72g
1 can canned tomatoes
400g
1 tbsp vinegar
16g
1/3 cup olives
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Wash, pat dry, and season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic.
- Slice the olives (if not pre-sliced).
2. Heat the Olive Oil:
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Brown the Chicken:
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs to the skillet. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Remove the browned chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are tender.
5. Deglaze with Wine:
- Pour in 1/3 cup of white wine to deglaze the pan. Stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Let the wine simmer for a minute or two, allowing it to reduce slightly.
6. Add Tomatoes and Vinegar:
- Add the canned tomatoes (with their juice) and 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the skillet. Stir to combine.
7. Return Chicken to Skillet:
- Place the browned chicken thighs back into the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
- Add the sliced olives to the skillet.
8. Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
9. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
10. Serve:
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve the Chicken Cacciatore hot, possibly over pasta, rice, or with a side of crusty bread.

Tips:

- For best results, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs as they remain moist and flavorful during cooking.

- Make sure to sear the chicken thighs until they are golden brown before simmering. This locks in the juices and adds depth to the flavor.

- Deglaze the pan with the white wine to incorporate all the browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.

- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can let the mixture simmer uncovered for the last 10 minutes.

- Serve the Chicken Cacciatore with a side of pasta or a crusty piece of bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
