Gluten-Free Chicken Cacciatore with Cauliflower Gnocchi

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken Thighs
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Bell Pepper
• 8 oz Mushrooms
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 28 oz Canned Diced Tomatoes
• 2 tbsp Tomato Paste
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano
• 1 tsp Dried Basil
• 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
• 16 oz Cauliflower Gnocchi

Instructions

1. 1Combine the 1.5 lbs Chicken Thighs, 1 tsp Salt, and 1/2 tsp Black Pepper in a medium bowl, tossing to coat the chicken evenly.
2. 2Heat the 2 tbsp Olive Oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, aiming for approximately 400°F (200°C). Add the seasoned 1.5 lbs Chicken Thighs to the hot pot and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until well browned on all surfaces. Remove the browned chicken from the pot and set it aside on a clean plate.
3. 3Add the 1 medium Onion (diced into 1/2-inch pieces), 1 medium Bell Pepper (diced into 1/2-inch pieces), and 8 oz Mushrooms (sliced) to the same pot. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the vegetables have softened. Add the 4 cloves Garlic (minced) and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until you can smell its fragrance.
4. 4Stir in the 28 oz Canned Diced Tomatoes, 2 tbsp Tomato Paste, 1 tsp Dried Oregano, 1 tsp Dried Basil, and 1/2 cup Chicken Broth. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pot, loosening any browned bits that are stuck there.
5. 5Return the browned 1.5 lbs Chicken Thighs to the pot, nestling them into the sauce. Increase the heat to bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and cook for 30 to 40 minutes. The chicken is done when it is tender and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
6. 6While the chicken simmers, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Carefully add the 16 oz Cauliflower Gnocchi to the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the gnocchi float to the surface. Drain the cooked gnocchi thoroughly.
7. 7Serve the chicken cacciatore immediately, spooning the chicken and sauce over the cooked 16 oz Cauliflower Gnocchi.
