Chicken Cacciatore

I always love to cook and eat Italian food. Since the beginning of the week I've been already planning to cook chicken cacciatore. At first I saw this recipe from Fabio Viviani online but I decided to use Giada's recipe.

Ingredients:

1. Chicken thigh
2. Red bell pepper
3. Red onion
4. Flour for dredging the chicken
5. Olive oil for frying the chicken
6. Dry white wine (but I used red wine instead)
7. Diced tomatoes with juice
8. Garlic
9. Capers
10. Dried oregano leaves
11. Salt
12. Pepper
13. Chicken broth
14. Basil (for me it was optional)

Direction:

1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and dredge it in the flour, coating lightly.
2. In a medium pan fry it in olive oil, 5 minutes each side or until chicken is brown. Set aside fried chicken.
3. In another pan, sauté onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add the wine and simmer it for 3 minutes.
5. Add the diced tomatoes with the juice, broth, capers and dried oregano.
6. Place the chicken on the pan and turn it to make sure it's coated with the sauce.
7. Simmer the sauce over medium heat until the chicken cooked through.
8. Using the tong, transfer the chicken on the plate and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle with basil and serve.
