(laugh) I assume a teaspoon. Understand, she wrote 16 chicken thighs, when she meant 6. This is a
recipe where you cannot go wrong. It's just dinner. The chicken comes out very nice and a slice of
buttered Italian bread never killed anyone. Salad, too.

nancy (yes, I made it with 16 chicken thighs the first time)

ObTopic: Made it last night (per Nancy's clarification of "tsp."😉. Delish! I should've made the 16
count! We'd've had enough for lunch today.

Snort!!

I can't! They're frozen solid! It's currently only Ten degrees
F. with a windchill of 5 BELOW zero and about 3 inches of fresh snow... Even if I could find a
creek... there won't be any jumping involved... Cups. I still like that one... <giggles>

(astonished and delighted!) It really does make great leftovers, especially if you include the
sausage. The chicken comes out really nice, texture is nice after simmering in the sauce. Couldn't
be an easier recipe.

That's one of the benefits! Simple, quick, cheap are the three fits for this meal. I could probably
work the food costs out but a guess is <US$2.00 per person, with salad as a side. The daughter-units
were requesting it again tonight (high praise!) but I made Chicken Paprika instead. That went over
less-well; the sauce looked the same but it was much spicier (and my three don't do spicy
willingly). <G>

Okay, here's my mil's recipe, no big deal. But it is what I'm making for dinner. In her words.

6 chicken thighs 2 cans of tomato sauce (any supermarket brand) 1 green bell pepper (cut in
small pieces)
1/4 ground pepper 1 tablespoon oregano 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Take skin off chicken. Heat skillet, add about a tablespoon of oil. Brown chicken, both sides,
medium heat. Place browned chicken in sauce pot. Pour tomato sauce over chicken. Add seasonings
plus pepper. Simmer for approximately 45 minutes. Stir occasionally.

PS: If you want to, you can brown 2 or 3 sausages and add to chicken in sauce pot.

I made this for dinner last night and we really enjoyed it. I had some Ragu 7-herb spaghetti sauce
on hand, so I used that in place of the tomato sauce and seasonings. I did sprinkle some onion and
garlic powder on the chicken before I browned it. We had it with linguini. Leftovers tonight! I'll
definitely make it again.

Oh, that's so funny, and it's so easy it barely qualifies as a recipe. I just really like it,
especially with the Italian sausage. Thanks for the note.

Where's the onion??? Minced garlic would be tastier than the powder, but YMMV.

Don't forget, this is my mil's precise hand scribbled recipe. In her own words. Not goreMet. But
good nonetheless.

Hey, it's 6 or 7 ingredients... which is the stuff cookbooks are made of and the way most of us cook
in real life!

AFAIC: It sounds tasty too.

Practice safe eating - always use condiments

Smells great in here. I know, not Goremett.

Alla Cacciatora translates into “Hunter’s Style.” Game (such as pheasant, hare, and boar) can have
a very strong taste, so the meat is marinated at length in vinegar, wine, and spices. Marinades
can tenderize and also enhance or disguise game flavor. The same recipes can be used to cook
rabbit, duck, lamb, or the ubiquitous chicken as in “Pollo alla cacciatora” aka Chicken Cacciatore
in the USA.

2 lb (approximately 1 kg) chicken, cut into pieces
1/3 cup (80 cc) white-wine vinegar
2/3 cup (80 cc) dry white wine 2 tablespoons rosemary leaves 2 whole garlic cloves, crushed salt and
pepper (or red pepper) 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon flour or corn starch 3–4
anchovy fillets, finely chopped

The night before the preparation, place the chicken in a bowl with the vinegar, wine, rosemary
leaves, and garlic. Marinate overnight. The next day, when you are ready to cook, drain and reserve
the marinade. Dry the chicken with paper towels. Place the extra-virgin olive oil in a saucepan and
turn the heat to medium. When the oil is hot, add the chicken and brown it lightly on all sides.
Add salt and pepper. Stir in the flour. Add the marinade, turn the heat to high, and let the liquid
evaporate. Turn the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for about 30–35 minutes or until the
chicken is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan. When the
chicken is ready, add the anchovies to the pan, stirring vigorously for a few seconds until
dissolved. Serve hot.
