Ingredients
 
 

  • olive oil
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or any other cuts of chicken will work
  • salt and black pepper
  • 3/4 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons capers drained
  • 1/2 medium onion cut into strips
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1 and 1/2 tablespoons dried
  • 6 large chopped fresh basil leaves or 1 and 1/2 tablespoons dried
  • 6 large cloves fresh garlic very coarsely chopped
  • 3/4 cup wine white or red
  • 2 cups marinara sauce or canned crushed tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Put a large skillet or sauté pan on at medium high and swirl in enough olive oil to cover the bottom. Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken pieces and fry them until done. About 3-5 minutes a side depending on how thick they are. Put them aside in a dish that will catch the drippings.
  • Put everything else, except the marinara sauce and the wine, in the skillet. Lightly sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir it all up with a wooden spoon scraping the bits off the bottom. Stir a couple of more times as it all cooks.When the onions are starting to show signs of wilting a little add the wine - white or red - and let it simmer and reduce a little - about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes - or sauce - stir it all together and put the chicken and the drippings back in. Turn the chicken pieces over a few times as they heat back up. When the sauce has reduced and thickened up a little - about 3 minutes - serve and enjoy your Easy Chicken Cacciatore.
