Chicken Cacciatore

So spaghetti with marinara sauce is wonderful. It's one of those go to meals. Try a hearty Cacciatore instead sometime , or try using your leftover marinara sauce to make it. this dish can be made in a crock pot, just brown meat and onions and then add the rest to the slow cooker, I love this dish over rice or penne pasta.

3tbsp olive oil
1/2c dry white wine
1/4c cognac or brandy
1 onion finely chopped
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 can crushed tomatoes or marinara sauce
1/2c green pepper
1/2c red pepper
1/2c finely chopped mushrooms
1/2 c sliced black olives
1/2tsp brown sugar
1tbsp fresh rosemary
4 sage leaves chopped
1 bay leaf
1 or so pinches of red pepper flakes

Method
Heat oil, brown chicken add garlic, onions green and red peppers. Saute on med heat until chicken is browned. Add Wine cook for a minute, add tomatoes, and the rest of the ingredients. Cook until chicken is done, and ingredients well combined. Feel free to add more Cognac or wine to your tasting. Serve over pasta or rice.
