Chicken Cacciatore

 This recipe is for an oven-baked chicken cacciatore served over pasta, suitable for 4-6 servings. It starts with 1.5 to 2 pounds of bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks seasoned with salt and pepper. The chicken is browned in olive oil in a large Dutch oven, then set aside. In the same pot, onions are sweated, followed by the addition of garlic, mushrooms, bell peppers, and carrots, cooked for five minutes. The dish is flavored with a mix of tomatoes, red wine or broth, chicken broth, garlic-stuffed olives, capers, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, and thyme. The browned chicken is nestled back into this mixture, brought to a low boil, covered, and then baked in a preheated oven at 350°F for one hour. It is then uncovered and cooked for an additional half-hour. The final dish is served over hot, cooked pasta, garnished with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese.
