INGREDIENTS
Cacciatore
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 pound skin-on, chicken thighs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
4 ounces whole white button mushrooms
4 ounces whole cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ teaspoon red chile flake
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 ounces pitted green olives
2 tablespoons capers
¼ cup red wine
1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Polenta
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup polenta
Kosher salt
Olive oil
4 ounces parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Grilled Broccolini
8 ounces broccolini
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Red chile flake
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
PROCEDURE
1. Make the cacciatore: Preheat your oven to 325℉. Place a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the olive oil to the pan and season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the pan, skin-side down and cook until the skin is crispy and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue cooking until browned on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
3. Place the onions in the reserved fat in the skillet and cook until they begin to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add the rosemary and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cherry tomatoes and continue cooking until the tomatoes begin to blister, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and chile flakes and cook until the butter has melted completely. Add the tomato paste and stir to coat the vegetables. Let the tomato paste cook until it begins to caramelize, about 2 minutes. Add the olives, capers and red wine. Cook until the wine has reduced by half, then add the tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. Place the chicken thighs back into the pan and place in the oven until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165℉, about 15 minutes.
4. Make the polenta: Place the chicken stock in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once boiling, whisk the polenta into the stock until it is completely absorbed. Remove the polenta from the heat and add in the salt, olive oil, parmesan, black pepper and butter. Whisk until the cheese and butter has melted completely. Add in the parsley and stir to combine.
5. Grill the broccolini: Place a grill pan over medium high heat. Drizzle the broccoli with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper and red chile flakes. Place the broccoli on the preheated grill and cook until lightly charred. Remove the broccolini to a bowl and toss with the balsamic vinegar.
6. Serve the chicken cacciatore over the polenta with a side of the grilled broccolini. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan

@@johnnunn8688 You don't get it so I will explain the joke to you. Gordon says it all the time in every video unnecessarily. I quoted the word because I am quoting him saying it. Went right over your head. I did not use single quotes either, that is incorrect. I used double. You also asked me a question without a question mark to finish the sentence. Just pointing that out since you are trying to correct someone's grammar and failed yourself.

Glad to say this is fairly similar to my version. Brown the chicken pieces, then make a soffritto with onion, celery, carrot, Italian herbs, and anchovies. Add mushrooms. add then cook off the tomato paste. add red wine and reduce. Chicken stock, reduce. Canned tomatoes. Add pitted Kalamata olives. Add chicken back in. Season (not too much salt as the anchovies do that job). Oven for quite a while to reduce and cook the chicken through.
