    Recipe Introduction


    Also known as chicken cacciatore, this rustic stew cooks in a rich tomato mushroom sauce. Serve over rice or with a thick slice of crusty bread.

    Prep:
    20 minutes
    Total:
    50 minutes

    List of Ingredients




    Serves 4

    * 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 1 1/2 pounds
    * Coarse salt and ground pepper
    * 1 tablespoon olive oil
    * 1 pound mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
    * 2 garlic cloves, minced
    * 1 can (14.5 ounces) stewed tomatoes
    * 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

    Directions

    1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large (5-quart) saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, heat oil over medium-high heat; swirl to coat bottom of pan. Cook chicken, turning when it easily releases from the pan, until golden, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
    2. Add mushrooms; cover, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, tomatoes, and oregano. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, covered, until tomatoes have broken down, 10 to 15 minutes.
    3. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pan; cover, and cook until chicken is opaque throughout, 4 to 6 minutes. Turn chicken to coat with sauce, and serve.
