How to Make Babzy S Low Fat Chicken Cacciatore

  1. Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Lightly brown the chicken in a large skillet with 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Set aside.
  2. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 bell pepper (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a large casserole dish. Add the browned chicken.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
  5. Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 1 hour.
  6. Serve hot over your choice of whole wheat pasta, brown rice, or couscous.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
