chicken cacciatore (molly style)


I've been on a bit of a tomato kick lately and since Molly always reminds me about her chicken cacciatore (because it's so easy and she makes it all the time), I decided yesterday was the night to give it a try. Mostly because it sounded yummy and I had all the ingredients. I served it with rice that I made with chicken stock and roasted veggies. Here was the end result:



Chicken Cacciatore
Serves four

Ingredients
1 lb. boneless chicken
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp. oil
1 (28 oz.) can tomatoes
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 c. green pepper strips
1 1/2 c. rice

Instructions
Cut chicken into strips; brown lightly with onion and garlic in oil. Drain off all oil and drippings. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, seasonings and green pepper. Bring to a full boil. Turn down heat. Stir and simmer about 20 minutes. (Can simmer longer.) Make rice. Serve cacciatore over rice, or to side. Serve with vegetable and-or salad.
