Ready for it? Ok.
Chicken Cacciatore
These are the ingredients. All of them. Except that I forgot the rice and the chicken bouillon. And the smidgen of butter to brown the chicken. Sorry.
2-3 chicken breasts
1 T each of butter and olive oil to brown chicken
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 can of mushrooms
1 small can of tomato sauce
1/2 tsp. of chili powder
salt & pepper to taste
Heat a little olive oil and butter in a large pan. Salt & Pepper chicken (I like garlic salt because garlic makes the world taste better). Brown chicken on each side then add onion & cook until translucent. Throw in pepper, mushrooms (not drained), tomato sauce, chili powder, a little salt and pepper and perhaps a chicken bouillon cube, if you're feeling it. Give it a good mix, turn the heat to low, put a lid on it and simmer for around 30-45 minutes. Check seasonings at the end and add more salt & pepper if needed.
While the chicken is cooking, steam some rice. Maybe some broccoli, if you're healthy like that, or throw together a salad. 45 minutes later, pour your chicken and sauce over the rice and you've got yourself dinner.
This is what it looks like raw. I didn't take a photo after it was cooked because my mind was overcome with hunger and I ate it, but if you get to this stage and your pan looks like mine, you're on the right track.
Try it! You'll like it!
