How to Make Skillet Chicken Cacciatore

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of Italian dressing in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces, to the skillet. Mix well to combine and cook for another 3 minutes, until lightly browned.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 (28 ounce) can of undrained stewed tomatoes.
  5. Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Reduce heat to low, ensuring the chicken is just simmering.
  6. Simmer for 12-14 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and fork-tender, stirring occasionally.
  7. Serve the chicken cacciatore immediately over hot noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and enjoy with a side salad.
