Chicken Cacciatore

Y'all, today's recipe is chicken cacciatore

All right, so, Sonny Boy, if you would dice up that onion and that garlic

You want the whole onion? Please. I'm gonna take some chicken thighs, y'all

I love chicken thighs. To me, they're the most moist, juiciest part of the chicken

And you can still get those, you know, fairly reasonable. Now, I'm gonna put a little salt

And getting them skinless and boneless, too, because they're packed full of flavor

And you wouldn't know the difference, really, once you get them boneless. That's right

But if you get bone in, they're kind of a lot of work. I mean, look at that. You can't even hardly tell that that's a chicken thigh

Now, I put a little olive oil in our pan. So we're just going to brown those real good

This olive oil comes out a little slow there. How many calories, Gordon

370. See, 370 calories, Mom. See, that's not bad. Yeah that not bad All right now while that browning I gonna take our bell pepper I going to dice it up Now remember y when you dicing a bell pepper don ever cut it on the skin side

because it's kind of slippery, and your knife could slip, and you could cut yourself

So always put the shiny side down and cut it in that direction

All right, so just a dice on that. Those chicken breasts are going good, good, good, good, good

This is one of my favorite things that you do, Mom, because with our family of four, it's kind of easier for us to stay home right now

because, you know, Matthew at three years old, and Jack's a lot better at it

but to load everybody up, and you go out, and you got to order, and you got to wait, and nothing ever tastes as good as it does at home

I know. To be able to find a dish that you can feed your family for

well, this is like below $10, But 20 below, that's an important tool for families

These are browned off, Mom. I'm gonna add our vegetables. Yeah. And they not done completely through y but that all right because we going to put them back in our pan after we get our vegetables cooked off a little bit

And they're going to cook a little bit longer in that wonderful marinara

We've got our spaghetti noodles cooked off. And look-a-there, that olive oil was just the perfect amount

Now, I'm going to add a little salt and pepper. I'm going to add a fourth of a teaspoon of red pepper flakes

so it's going to have just a wee bit of a bite. Now, this is cacciatore, so I'm going to be using a marinara sauce

and I'm going to use a store-bought sauce. So look at this, y'all

Now, you know you'd pay good money. Doesn't it smell wonderful, honey

You would pay good money. You'd pay $8 for it. No you couldn go out and get that You couldn go out and do it Not so much spaghetti for me sonny boy Look at that Those thighs look so wonderful and tender

Yum. You want some fresh cheese? Yes, I want some fresh cheese

If you would pass the basil, son. Oh, you want to make it pretty

Yes, I want to make it pretty. Vegetables are very important. Look at that

Oh, here it comes. Yay! That basil just ties right in with the flavors in that marinara

Yes. Y'all stay tuned to the Paula Deen Network, because I'm here working for you, girl and boy. Yay

Thank you
