Chicken cacciatore is a classic Italian meal that is also referred to as hunter's stew. The early recipes were made with either rabbit or chicken and each of these recipes was adapted for those who might be travelling or hunting for several days meaning that they would have to have an easy to prepare recipe for outside cooking. The traditional cacciatore chicken is a combination, mushrooms and spices and many ask the question can you cook chicken from frozen state? And the answer is yes.
The most common spices used in this recipe include oregano, parsley, thyme as well as salt and pepper. You can also add garlic and onions in this dish if you wish to. In its most conventional form, this dish will have a fatter, dark meat as well as yield a more luscious sauce. If you cook this dish for too long you might end up with many little pieces of chicken and may be dangerous if all the bones are not fished out. This dish should be prepared in a crock-pot or slow cooker.
You will need the following ingredients to prepare this meal and this will include 1 chicken, 28oz. canned tomatoes, 1 chopped onion, ? a cup of all purpose flour, ? cup of chopped fresh parsley, ? a cup of vegetable oil, 2 bay leaves, 1 cup of white wine as well as salt and pepper. You can start preparing the dish when you have all these ingredients. The first step will be to pat the chicken dry using the paper towels and it should be seasoned with the salt and pepper. The chicken should also be dusted with flour where you should shake off as much excess as possible.
You can then put the vegetable oil in a large pot and heat it over medium heat. When the oil is nice and hot you can then add the chicken and ensure that it is brown on all sides but be careful to not make the chicken too dark. The next step will be to remove the chicken and add onions to the oil and stir them frequently in order to saut? them until tender. You should then cut the tomatoes into large pieces in order to retain all its juices and add them to the onion and oil mixture. Add the oil and wait for this mixture to come to boil.
The chicken can now be returned to the mixture and proceed to add bay leafs, the reserved tomato juices, ? a cup of parsley as well as the broth and this should be done at low heat for about 45 minutes. All the foam and oil that rises to the surface should be skimmed off while cooking.

You should then sprinkle the chicken with the remaining parsley and your meal can now be served.
