(*Wine and oregano not pictured because I forgot.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I\u2019ve also found ways to incorporate it into pretty much every dish that I\u2019ve used since starting to make it into a weekly blog. It\u2019s been in a <a href=\"https:\/\/wcfcourier.com\/news\/opinion\/blogs\/haute_dish\/family-favorites-mom-knows-best-on-chicken-cacciatore\/article_734fb238-1b90-5900-b125-f1b8866aaddf.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">casserole<\/a>. It\u2019s been in a <a href=\"http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/2019\/03\/23\/the-crippes-family-chicken-cacciatore-sorta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dutch oven<\/a>. OK, it never made it into a bread or a pie. But this year, thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachaelrayshow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rachael Ray<\/a>, I had a way to make it into a small skillet.<\/p>\n<p>Her recipe wasn\u2019t too different from how it\u2019s traditionally made, in that it had mushrooms that I\u2019ll never use. However, because it\u2019s meant to be a sandwich, it skipped the less common sandwich topping of artichoke hearts. I refused to use mushrooms or skip out on one of my favorite vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>So, mine was a little different, and used slightly smaller amounts so that I could have it all fit in my little Le Creuset. It was, like some of my previous attempts, a bit close to full, but workable. My little skillet is 9 inches; this is perfect for 10, but 9 inches will work with some more careful stirring.<\/p>\n<p>Since I made it my way, and my sweetie tested it first, it was no surprise that this worked and tasted delightful. However, it was no less delicious for being one of my favorite meals and working according to plan.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_670\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-670\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-670\" src=\"http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200220_214510-300x256.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200220_214510-300x256.jpg 300w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200220_214510-768x656.jpg 768w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200220_214510-1024x875.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/christiniacrippes.com\/food\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/20200220_214510.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-670\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steam for effect. Or, really because I needed the pic so I could eat it sooner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here\u2019s what I did:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 lb. chicken, sliced or chopped<\/li>\n<li>~2 T. olive oil<\/li>\n<li>6 to 7 oz. marinated quartered artichoke hearts<\/li>\n<li>1 bell pepper, seeded and sliced<\/li>\n<li>1 large onion, peeled and sliced<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd c. red wine (or broth)<\/li>\n<li>1 (14 oz.) can crushed tomatoes<\/li>\n<li>2 to 4 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n<li>2 t. dried oregano<\/li>\n<li>1 t. crushed red pepper flakes<\/li>\n<li>2 to 3 T. flat-leaf parsley, chopped<\/li>\n<li>Salt and pepper, to taste<\/li>\n<li>4 sub rolls, for serving, or some cooked pasta, for serving<\/li>\n<li>Provolone cheese, for topping the rolls (or frankly the pasta, if preferred, provolone is never bad)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Heat oven to broil if making sandwiches. Alternatively, prepare pasta if using.<\/p>\n<p>Heat half the oil in a 9- to 10-inch skillet on a stove over medium heat. Add the chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until mostly cooked through. Add the remaining oil, and then the onions, peppers, and artichokes, and cook until the vegetables have softened, about another 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, crushed red peppers, and cook for another minute.<\/p>\n<p>Add the wine to deglaze the pan, and then add the crushed tomatoes and parsley. Cook for another few minutes until the tomatoes are simmering and the flavors have melded. Once ready, remove from heat.<\/p>\n<p>Pile about a quarter of the chicken mixture into a sliced sub roll, and cover with one to two slices of provolone (as preferred). Repeat with as many sandwiches as you\u2019re planning to serve immediately. Place the sandwiches on a sheet pan or aluminum foil or both, and place in the oven on the top rack, and broil for 1 to 2 minutes (keep watch!) until the cheese has melted and the edges of the bread have turned golden, and enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once I started enjoying cooking, chicken cacciatore was one of the first things I asked my mom to teach me how to make, even though the recipe came from my paternal grandmother.
