Chicken Cacciatore


My mom used to make this. Great for a cool night, and easy to make. Great with a salad and some garlic bread. Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts cut up
2 tbsp butter
1 onion, diced

3 garlic cloves chopped
1 red bell pepper chopped
1 green bell pepper chopped
1 package sliced mushrooms
1 can sliced olives
1 25 oz jar Marinara Sauce
1 cup of red wine
salt/pepper to taste

Brown salt and peppered chicken in a skillet with butter until browned. Add onion and garlic until they are cooked, slightly tender. Pour marinara sauce and wine in. Cook on simmer for about 20 minutes or so, covered. Add mushrooms, peppers and olives and simmerfor another 15 minutes or so. Serve over pasta of your choice.
