Chicken Cacciatore

• 1-1/2 T. butter
• 1-1/2 T. extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 3-1/2 to 4 lbs. bone-in chicken (either breasts, thighs or legs, or combo
• 1/2 lb. crimini mushrooms, halved or quartered
• 1 lg. onion, chopped
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1/2 C. dry white wine
• 1/2 C. fresh tomatoes, chopped
• 8 oz. tomato sauce
• 8 oz. can chopped tomatoes
• 1 t. salt
• 1/2 t. dried marjoram
• 1/2 t. dried oregano
• 1/2 t. dried thyme
• 1/2 C. chicken broth
• 1-1/2 T. fresh parsley, chopped
• 12 oz. spinach fettucini noodles, cooked according to package directions.

1. Heat butter and oil in dutch oven over med-hi heat. Pat chicken dry, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then add chicken to pan and cook, turning until browned, 4-5 min. per side (this may take two batches, and will probably splatter); remove chicken from pot and wrap in foil to keep warm).
2. While chicken is cooking, chop the vegetables.
3. Reduce heat to medium and add mushrooms, onion, green pepper and garlic to pan drippings and cook, stirring often, until onion is soft (5-10 min). Stir in wine and allow it to bubble off for a minute or two. Add fresh tomatoes and cook a minute or two. Add tomato sauce, canned tomatoes, salt, dried herbs and chicken broth.
4. Return chicken to pot along with accumulated juices from the foil. Nestle chicken pieces in the sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer (slow constant bubbles, not furious bubbling) about 35-40 min, until meat is no longer pink.
5. Remove chicken pieces from pot and allow them to cool on a cutting board, long enough to allow chicken to be handled. Remove skin and bones and discard, returning large boneless chicken meat back into the sauce.
6. (Can be refrigerated at this point.)
7. Heat gently. Stir in chopped parsley (reserve a small amount for garnish). Spoon sauce over a bed of hot, cooked spinach noodles in individual pasta bowls.
8. Garnish with remaining parsley.
