Chicken Cacciatore is an easy to make, low carb, rustic skillet dinner recipe made with one chicken thigh simmering in a rich and hearty tomato based sauce.
Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil 30 seconds.
Add chicken to the skillet and cook 4 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to a large plate, cover, and set aside.
Add chopped onions, bell peppers, garlic, and rosemary to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes.
Add wine and bring to a boil. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until almost all of the wine has evaporated.
Stir in the tomatoes and add the chicken back to the pan. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 25 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Taste and add additional salt, if needed.

Stock Up on Chicken: When you find a good deal on chicken thighs or breasts, grab some extra. Divide them into single servings, wrap them individually, and store in the freezer. This makes it convenient to whip up this dish any time. According to the USDA, chicken breasts maintain optimal quality in the freezer for up to nine months.
Freeze Leftover Wine: Don't let that extra wine go to waste. Pour it into ice cube trays and stash them in the freezer. When you need a splash of wine for cooking, just pop out a frozen wine cube and add it directly to your dish.
