For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces. The skin will crisp up beautifully in the oven. If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the simmering sauce before baking. Serve this delightful dish over a bed of creamy polenta, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce. Feel free to customize this recipe with your favorite vegetables! Bell peppers, zucchini, or artichoke hearts would be wonderful additions.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper. Brown the chicken in batches until golden on all sides. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. (Approximately 10-12 minutes)
02
StepAdd sliced onions and mushrooms to the same skillet. Sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Return the browned chicken to the skillet. Add diced tomatoes (with their juices), cream of mushroom soup, and white wine. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to combine. (Approximately 5 minutes)
03
StepOnce simmering, add green olives, black olives, capers, and sliced pepperoni. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients. Cover the skillet tightly and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. (Approximately 30 minutes)
04
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the skillet cover and transfer the chicken and sauce mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the chicken is very tender and the sauce is bubbly. (Approximately 15 minutes)

May 15, 2025I found that simmering the cacciatore on the stovetop for a bit longer made the chicken even more tender.
