Chicken Cacciatore
« on: March 19, 2012, 12:58:33 am »
Hi all,
Here is a recipe for Chicken Cacciatore that I adapted from one of my old recipe books.  It was really yum so I thought I would share.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE - adapted from Fats & Figures: Luscious Low Fat Recipes

SERVES - 4

INGREDIENTS
4 skinless chicken breast fillets
Salt, black pepper
1 medium onion, sliced into rings (or you can chop the onion with the garlic and bacon in Step 2 if you prefer)
2 rashers middle bacon
1 clove garlic
40g oil
120g dry white wine
20g white vinegar
1 x 800g can tomatoes, including liquid, chopped
1 x 140 g can tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried basil
˝ teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon soy sauce
300g dry fettuccine

PREPARATION
1. Sprinkle chicken fillets with pepper and salt on both sides and place on greased Varoma tray.
2. Place onion, bacon and garlic in TM bowl and chop for 2 seconds on Speed 7.
3. Add oil and sauté for 3 minutes at 100° on Speed 1.
4. Add wine and vinegar and cook for 3 minutes on 100° Speed 1.
5. Add canned tomatoes, tomato paste, spices and soy sauce and cook for 20 minutes at Varoma temperature Speed 1.
6. At the same time, place the Varoma with chicken into position.
7. Meanwhile cook fettuccine as per directions on packet.
8. At the end of cooking, cut chicken into serving size pieces.
9. When cooked, arrange fettuccine on serving plate and serve chicken pieces and sauce over the top.

TIPS/HINTS
I halve this recipe and only use 2 chicken fillets and half the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste.  I don't bother about halving anything else and it still works really well.

thermo 18  - This was a really nice meal, only did the 2 chicken breasts and the one tin of tomatoes and 70g tomato paste as suggested. Next time, and there will be a next time, I might add 1 more garlic and I would put the chicken in with the sauce already cut in strips and cook for 15 minutes. A good meal, quick and simply that everyone would enjoy.
