Mom’s Chicken Cacciatore 🍅🍗

This chicken cacciatore is my mother-in-law’s recipe — simple, rustic, and full of love. The kind of meal that fills your kitchen with the most beautiful aroma and brings everyone to the table.

Tender chicken legs simmered slowly with sweet bell peppers, thick slices of onion, garlic, olive oil, and a little knob of butter for richness. A splash of white wine, briny capers, Italian seasoning, and just a touch of sugar to balance it all… pure comfort in every bite.

It’s not fancy. It’s not complicated.
It’s just real, old-fashioned family cooking the kind that gets passed down and never forgotten.

Serve it over pasta, polenta or rice with crusty bread, or just as it is… and don’t forget to spoon that sauce over everything.

Instructions
1. Season the chicken
Pat the chicken dry and season generously with salt and pepper only.
2. Brown the chicken
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Add the chicken and brown on all sides until golden. Remove and set aside.
3. Sauté the vegetables
In the same pan, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5–7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Deglaze with wine
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, scraping up all the flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the tomatoes & seasoning
Pour in the jar of passata.
Stir in the Italian seasoning, capers, and sugar. Mix well and bring to a gentle simmer.
6. Simmer together
Return the chicken to the pan. Cover and simmer on low for 40–45 minutes, until the chicken is tender and the sauce is rich and thick.
7. Taste and adjust
Adjust salt and pepper if needed.
