Pollo alla Cacciatora (Hunter's Style Chicken) ingredients

• 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms

• 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf

How to make Pollo alla Cacciatora (Hunter's Style Chicken)

1. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down until golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes), then flip and sear for another 3-4 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add chopped onion, bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
4. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook until the wine is mostly reduced, about 3-5 minutes.
6. Stir in crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, dried oregano, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
7. Return the seared chicken thighs to the pot, nestling them into the sauce. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
8. Remove bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
