Chicken Cacciatore
3 tablespoons olive oil
3-4 pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 large onion, chopped

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
Pinch crushed hot red pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 can (28-oz.) crushed tomatoes
Salt
Black pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
Place the All-Purpose Pan in the MAXIM® Oval Roaster/Grill Pan
Base.
Turn the Temperature Dial to 425ºF.
When the Temperature "Ready" Light turns off, add the oil to the
center of the pan. Let warm 1 minute then add the chicken pieces
and brown evenly all-over. To avoid splattering, cover with the Lid
and turn the Lid Knob to vent. Remove chicken and set aside.
Add the onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Sauté, uncovered, until
onion is soft. Add the herbs and white wine and let cook 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add
the chicken pieces to the pan. Lower Temperature Dial to 300ºF
and cook, covered, 45 to 55 minutes, or until the chicken tests
done.
Taste and adjust for salt and pepper. Sprinkle with minced parsley
before serving.
