Chicken Cacciatore - II

Category: Main Dish, Healthy Recipes, Chicken

 Ingredients List

  • 6 chicken thighs, skin and fat removed
  • olive oil spray
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup fat free chicken broth, more if needed
  • 1 tsp dried oregano leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped basil leaves
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 cups cooked (12 oz uncooked) high fiber or whole wheat pasta

 Directions

Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large heavy saute pan, heat the pan over a medium-high flame and spray with cooking oil. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and saute just until brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add the peppers, onion and garlic to the pan and saute over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 3-4 minutes, then add mushrooms and cook another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, broth, and oregano.

Cover the pan and bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue simmering over low heat until the chicken is just cooked through, about 25 minutes. Add the chopped basil 5 minutes before sauce is done. Serve over whole wheat or high fiber pasta like Ronzoni Smart Taste.
