My friend Christine recently scored an awesome deal at the outlets and brought home the prettiest little yellow Le Creuset french oven. But the weird thing is, she's not much of a cook so the pretty little yellow pot had been sitting on her stove top for a couple of weeks...until we decided it was time to "christen" the pot!
I started browning some chicken thighs on the bone (for the bone-lovers),
and also some chunks of chicken breast (for non-bone-lovers)...
Any guess as to what it's for? Well...these are my first steps to one of my favorite meals: Chicken Cacciatore! So in the same pot with all the browned goodness went in the mix of mire poix, red, yellow, orange, and green bell peppers...
And some cremini and button mushrooms.
Then the chicken pieces plunged right back in along with canned diced tomatoes, chicken stock & good quality chardonnay (Oops, forgot the tomato paste!)!
After that we just waited...
and waited...
Voila! It was ready!
We served it up alongside some angel hair pasta.
So delicious, and so appropriate for the pretty little yellow french oven! I can't wait to have one of my own...
