How to Make Barb's Best Ever Chicken Cacciatore
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1/2 cup dry red wine, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce simmers, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts) in a 9x13 inch baking dish, skin-side up.
- Season chicken generously with salt and pepper.
- Pour the simmered sauce evenly over the chicken.
- Bake, uncovered, for 75-90 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Do not stir or turn the chicken during baking.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve over your favorite pasta, rice, or polenta.
