Chicken Cacciatore

After doing the rabbit, now it's time to do the chicken, got the idea from Simply Recipe website. I did a twist to mine with what I could find in my fridge and stew with tomatoes.

Ingredients :
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 onion, julienne
1 tbsp bacon
2 cloves garlic, minced
5 chicken drumstick
1/3 cup white wine
1 can whole tomatoes 800gm
1/2 tsp herbs de provence
1 cup frozen zucchini, defrosted
10 olives

In a pot, place the olive oil and butter, add the onion, bacon and garlic. Stir till the onion is transparent, then add the chicken, cook for about 5 minutes. Then add the white wine, cook for about 5 minutes then add the tomatoes and herbs de provence.  If you don't have herbs de provence, mixed herbs are good enough. I add another cup of water and let it come to a boil, season to taste, then transfer to roasting pan.

Ready for oven

Place in the oven at 160°C for 45 minutes.

After roasting

Remove the chicken and transfer the sauce into the pan, add the zucchini and olive and boil till sauce thickens.  I roast the chicken for about another 10 minutes at 190°C before serving.  Remove the chicken from the oven and place the sauce on top of the roast chicken before serving.  I serve with rice pilaf.
