This easy Baked Chicken Cacciatore recipe is baked in the oven with chicken breasts (or thighs), using pantry ingredients like canned tomatoes, onions and garlic. It's perfect for either a weeknight dinner or a special occasion such as a birthday, date, night or Valentine's Day!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/ 175C and spray a large baking dish or roaster with non-stick cooking spray
Place chicken on bottom of baking dish/roaster.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine all ingredients, then pour over chicken.
Bake uncovered, for 20 minutes, then turn chicken.
Return to oven and bake for another 20-30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. *If sauce is too thin for your liking, thicken with roux (see top tip below)
Garnish
Garnish with cilantro and parmesan cheese, as desired. Serve over noodles or rice.
Notes
💠Top tipIf the sauce is a little too thin for your taste, thicken it with a roux ( 1 part oil to 1 part flour) *Simply put it in a pot on stovetop, over medium- low heat, whisk in the roux and keep whisking for about 10 minutes until it reaches desired thickness. Return sauce to casserole dish and garnish as desired.HINT: Use a thermometer (affiliate link) to check that your chicken has reached 165 degrees F/ It's the best way to check for doneness without overcooking! I use this instant read thermometer- (affiliate link) it's great for everything food related!)
