Babzys Low Fat Chicken Cacciatore Recipes

Steps:

• Spray nonstick skillet with olive-oil spray; place over high heat. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook in skillet until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Wipe out skillet, and respray. Add mushrooms, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes; set aside. Reduce heat to low.
• Respray skillet; add onions, celery, carrots, and garlic; cover, and cook, stirring, until onions are translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Add wine, and raise heat to high; cook until wine is almost evaporated, about 30 seconds.
• Add tomatoes, yellow pepper, rosemary, stock, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; stir to combine. Add chicken and mushrooms; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer chicken until tender, about 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine the flour with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Working in batches, dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, turn to coat and shake off the excess flour.
• Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed saute pan or Dutch-oven over medium heat. Start browning the chicken in the pan a few pieces at a time to avoid overcrowding. Cook the chicken 5 minutes on each side. Remove and transfer the chicken to a plate.
• In the same pan, add the mushroom, onion, red bell pepper, and garlic and saute just until tender. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half. Add the broth, tomatoes, and oregano. Return the chicken pieces to the pan and turn them to coat in the sauce. Add the thyme to the sauce and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cover. Continue simmering the mixture for 40 minutes, or until tender.
• Serve the chicken cacciatore with crusty Italian bread, over pasta, or over polenta and garnish with fresh basil.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute onion and garlic in butter, until onions are soft.
• Slice chicken breasts into bite sized pieces.
• Combine spices (except garam masala) and toss chicken pieces until well coated.
• Add the chicken to the onions and saute until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides.
• In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, combine the fat-free cream, tomato sauce, fat-free sour cream and garam masala with a whisk, then pour over chicken mixture.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, making sure that chicken is cooked through.
• Serve over rice and garnish with cilantro if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Tip in the prosciutto and fry for about 2 mins until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, letting any fat drain back into the pan, and set aside. Put the onion, garlic and herbs in the pan and fry for 3-4 mins.
• Spread the onion out in the pan, then lay the chicken breasts on top. Season with pepper and fry for 5 mins over a medium heat, turning the chicken once, until starting to brown on both sides and the onion is caramelising on the bottom of the pan. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate. Raise the heat, give it a quick stir and, when sizzling, pour in the wine and let it bubble for 2 mins to reduce slightly.
• Lower the heat to medium, return the prosciutto to the pan, then stir in the tomatoes (breaking them up with your spoon), tomato purée and mushrooms. Spoon 4 tbsp of water into the empty tomato can, swirl it around, then pour it into the pan. Cover and simmer for 15-20 mins or until the sauce has thickened and reduced slightly, then return the chicken to the pan and cook, uncovered, for about 15 mins or until the chicken is cooked through. Season and scatter over the parsley to serve.
