    Title: Sophia Loren's Chicken Cacciatore
    Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Wine, Herbs, Chilies
    Yield: 4 Servings

    3 tb Extra virgin olive oil
    3 1/2 lb Chicken; in 8 serving
    - pieces
    1 md Onion; peeled, halved, thin
    - sliced
    1 lg Red pepper; in 1/2" strips
    1/2 c Dry white wine
    3/4 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Hot red pepper flakes
    2 c Canned plum tomatoes; well
    - drained, coarse chopped
    1/3 c Torn basil leaves

    In a 10" to 12" saute pan with cover, heat the oil over
    medium high heat, and when it is hot, brown the chicken
    on the skin side first, then the underside. Do not crowd
    the pan. Brown the chicken in batches if necessary,
    setting aside the browned chicken on a plate until the
    rest is done.

    When the first few pieces of chicken are almost browned
    and still in the pan, add the onion red pepper, saute
    until tender.

    Arrange all the browned chicken in the pan, skin side up,
    and add the white wine. Season with salt and hot pepper
    flakes, then let the wine cook until it has almost
    entirely evaporated, just a couple of minutes. While it
    is reducing, turn the chicken in the liquid once or
    twice, but leave it skin side up at the end.

    Add the tomatoes. Cover the pan, lower the heat, and let
    cook at a gentle simmer, without turning, for about 30
    minutes, or until the chicken is done.

    Remove the chicken to a serving platter, add the basil to
    the pan and increase the heat to high, letting the sauce
    reduce for about 2 minutes. In the end, the sauce will be
    creamy pink.

    Pour the sauce over the chicken or use it to dress pasta
    (reserving some for the chicken) and serve immediately.
