Description

This Low Fat/Low Cal Chicken Cacciatore brings the comforting flavors of traditional Italian hunting-style stew to your table without the heavy calories. Tender skinless chicken breasts are gently simmered in a vibrant sauce made from canned tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, onions, and green peppers, all infused with the aromatic warmth of garlic, oregano, and a splash of dry red wine. The result is a juicy, flavorful meal that feels indulgent yet remains light and healthy. Perfect for busy weeknights or a cozy dinner for two, this dish pairs beautifully with a side of whole wheat pasta or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Sprinkle the chicken breasts with paprika and set aside.
  2. In a medium skillet, chop the undrained tomatoes roughly with a knife or spoon.
  3. Add the mushrooms, onions, green peppers, wine, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the tomatoes.
  4. Place the chicken pieces on top of the tomato and vegetable mixture in the skillet.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
  9. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the skillet sauce.
  10. Cook and stir the sauce until it thickens and becomes bubbly.
  11. Continue to cook and stir for 2 more minutes to ensure the sauce is fully thickened.
  12. Arrange the cooked chicken and spaghetti on a serving platter.
  13. Spoon the warm tomato sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.
