Light Chicken Cacciatore

Making the same grilled chicken for dinner can start to get pretty boring. Chicken Cacciatore is a great and healthy way to keep this protein in your diet, with much more flavor and excitement. While most Chicken Cacciatore recipes call for flour and olive oil, I left them out to make a lighter and much healthier version (you can still use oil, it's a healthy fat!)

                  

Start by cutting up your chicken breasts into small, bite size pieces (you can always leave them whole, just make sure they cook through). Heat up a skillet and sautee your garlic, onion, and bell pepper with Pam Spray. Add in your diced chicken breast and cook through. Next, add in your dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio, and bring to a simmer (dry red wines work too). Add in a full can of petite diced tomatoes with juice, capers (you can substitute for olives), oregano, and basil. Season to taste and stir to cover all of the pieces of chicken. Bring back to a simmer and cover for about 20 minutes. You can serve your Chicken Cacciatore on its own, on a whole wheat tortilla, whole grain bread, or with whole grain pasta. Always add a side of veggies and serve hot!
