Easy Baked Chicken Cacciatore
Flavorful, tender, and easy ... this Easy Baked Chicken Cacciatore is simple enough to be a great weeknight go-to meal.
Do you have delicious main dishes in your food arsenal that you just seem to forget about sometimes? This Easy Baked Chicken Cacciatore is one of those dishes for me.
I was thumbing through my family cookbook the other night and ... there this recipe was. Just staring me in the face saying, ...
"Hey! Remember me? Make me! Make me! I'm easy and really yummy ... remember???"
Well, yes, I do remember. But I don't know why I go so long between the times I remember.
My sister-in-law gave me this easy Baked Chicken Cacciatore recipe years ago, and it's one of her family's go-to meals. Served up atop cooked pasta, it's a deliciously satisfying -- and kind of pretty -- one-dish meal. Like our favorite Quick Weeknight Chicken Penne Alfredo or Chicken Scampi with Garlic Parmesan Rice, we just love dishes that are easy riffs on Italian classics.
To make this easy dinner dish, roast some seasoned chicken in a baking pan. Then add in onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms ... and roast it all together a bit more.
See those golden chunks of chicken? They are cut-them-with-a-fork tender. But my favorite part of the dish are the mushrooms. I sure love me some roasted mushrooms. Spooned over cooked pasta, this one-pan roasted chicken and vegetables dish is one hearty easy meal.
Now let's just hope I don't forget about this family favorite for so long this time.
Thank you for stopping by . We'd love to have you back soon!
