THE BEST-EVER CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Ingredients

  • 600g chicken thighs
  • 300g button mushrooms, halved
  • 1 cup kalamata olives, pitted
  • 3 anchovies, chopped (optional)
  • 1 large jar of passata (800g)
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 sprig of rosemary
  • 6 slices pancetta, torn
  • Salt and pepper
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Place onions and mushrooms into a large pot with a drizzle of olive oil. Saute on medium for 5 or so minutes until onions become translucent.
  • Add chicken thighs, turning occasionally until browned.
  • Add pancetta and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes then add all remaining ingredients.
  • Simmer on low without a lid, stirring every now and then, for 1 hour.
  • You might like to cook your cacciatore longer, and that's absolutely fine! The longer the better :)
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste then serve with pasta, polenta, rice or veggies.
