Chicken Cacciatore with Creamy Polenta

By Sophie Conniff

Total: 60 minutes
ItalianMain CoursePoultry

Ingredients

  • 600 g bone-in chicken thighs
  • 400 g canned tomatoes
  • 1-2 pcs bell peppers
  • 1 pcs onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 150 g polenta
  • 40 g Parmesan cheese
  • 600 ml water

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

3

In a large ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

4

Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and sear the other side for another 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

5

In the same pan, add diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced bell peppers. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

6

Add the canned tomatoes, oregano, and rosemary to the pan. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

7

Return the chicken thighs to the pan, skin-side up. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.

8

Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

9

While the chicken is baking, prepare the polenta. In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 600 ml of water to a boil with a pinch of salt.

10

Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the polenta. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy, about 10-15 minutes.

11

Stir in the Parmesan cheese into the polenta and mix well.

12

Once the chicken is done, remove from the oven. Serve the chicken and sauce over a generous helping of creamy polenta.
