Happy Shack Chicken Cacciatore

This one isn’t realistic for backpacking, but it will work just fine for a desultory evening over the tailgate.

  • Pan fry 4 chicken thighs with skin in olive oil and shallots, onions, or garlic.  (Add one thigh each for more people)
  • Pancetta would be an optional plus for the pan frying stage, although a wee bit of bacon would perform admirably.
  • Once chicken is cooked, add 1 can each of black beans and diced tomatoes (fresh just dandy if available).  White cannellini beans, of course, would please any Tuscan, but I like the black ones.
  • Add a small can of chopped black olives
  • A generous ounce of capers with their vinegar
  • One sliced onion
  • Basil and oregano to taste
  • A cup of red Salamandre wine if you can spare it
  • Cholula or other hot sauce to taste
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Simmer and reduce until sticky…about an hour
