Crispy-skinned chicken simmered in tomato sauce with mushrooms until the meat is fork-tender is a traditional Italian-American meal that's perfect for a Sunday supper or a reheated weeknight meal. You can cut up a whole chicken yourself or buy pieces (get all legs and thighs—they're sure to stay moist). To freeze, make sure the meat is covered by the sauce. To reheat, let the container defrost in the refrigerator, and then transfer it to a pot and bring to a simmer. Get the recipe: Chicken Cacciatore |
