I love chicken cacciatore. Here is a version that I make with chicken breasts to help cut out some of the extra fat. This is a delicious dish on a bed of pasta or rice. Here I've served it with gluten free rotini.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
24 oz chicken breast, large cubes, sprinkled with salt and pepper
flour for dredging
1/4 cup cooking oil
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
24 fl oz marinara sauce
1/4 cup water
1 tsp dry oregano
salt and pepper to taste
Steps:
Dredge chicken pieces in flour.
Heat oil in a large, deep pan and cook until golden brown on all sides. Don't crowd the pan. If pan isn't big enough, brown in batches.

Remove from pan and drain on a paper towel.
Place mushrooms and peppers in the same pan and cook until slightly wilted but still crunchy. Season with a touch of salt.
Use tongs to place mushrooms and peppers on a plate. Discard any oil left in the pan.
Add 1/4 cup of marinara sauce and 1/4 cup of water to the pan and bring to a boil.

Put all the chicken chunks back into the pan and reduce heat to low.
Allow chicken to cook for a couple minutes.
Sprinkle with oregano.
Add the rest of the jar of marinara sauce to the pan. Bring to a boil and let chicken simmer for 10 minutes.
Add mushrooms and peppers, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until chicken is tender.
For a cheap, easy, fast and quick kid-friendly dinner, this is one of my standbys. Served with a salad, I can have a healthy dinner on the table in about 15 minutes.
It's delicious, and very easy. Mix the rotini, sauce, left over chicken, black olives and, if using, the pepper rings. Stir in the mozzarella cheese cubes. Put this in a casserole dish.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine tomato sauce, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes; stir. Cook at 50% power for 3-5 minutes or until mixture simmers, stirring once; set aside.
