Chicken Cacciatore

To make chicken cacciatore there are many steps. First you will need to put up your hair, and wash your hands. The next step is to cut up the chicken. You need them cut into legs, thighs, wings, and the breast. The next thing is to get out a skillet and fill it with oil, which we used leftover grease from the day before. We turned the skillet onto about 350 degrees. Both my partner and I had to put flour, salt and pepper into a bowl to coat the chicken. So then we put the chicken into the skillet until both sides were golden brown. Then we removed the chicken from the skillet.

The next thing to do is to chop up the green bell pepper, and to chop the onion. The next thing I did was mince the garlic, which was pretty easy, but the garlic liked to stick to the knife. I did these things while my partner was cooking the chicken. Since the chicken was done we put the onion, garlic, and the green bell pepper into the skillet until the onion was slightly brown.

Since the onion, garlic, and green bell pepper was done, we then put the chicken back into the skillet. Then we had to add wine, oregano, and tomatoes. The wine is only there to help with the taste. There is no alcohol since its been evaporated out of it. We had to cook this for about 30 minutes on medium low heat. We had to temp the chicken so it was more than 165 degrees. Also we made noodles with our cacciatore, since its served over hot spaghetti noodles sometimes.

Since it was done, it was time to try it. I am not a huge fan of onions, green bell pepper, and tomatoes so I was not the biggest fan of it. The chicken tasted good, but some of the taste from them went into the chicken. It still tasted fine. The chicken had a great appearance. It was very nice and golden brown. Otherwise the appearance of the food was also a nice color. It had different variety of colors so things stood out.
