Who said Chicken Cacciatore was difficult to make? This is a simple Chicken Cacciatore recipe that you can make any weeknight when you’re looking for a tasty chicken dish in under 30 minutes.
Cook the rice per the instructions. Fluff with a fork, set aside and cover.
Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side and then flip.
When flipped, add the garlic, onion and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are soft. About 5 minutes.
Start ripping or cutting the chicken into little chunks. Once ripped, add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, basil, and red pepper (if using).
Bring to a boil then simmer for about 10 minutes.
Serve the chicken and sauce hot over brown rice in bowls. Sprinkle with some Parmesan cheese if you’d like!
