Chicken Cacciatore made in a the Instant Pot! The easy Italian sauce is hearty and chunky, loaded with chicken, tomatoes, peppers and onions ( sometimes I add mushrooms too!).

Chicken Cacciatore Recipe (Instant Pot)

Great over pasta, roasted spaghetti squash, rice or polenta. I also have a traditional chicken cacciatore recipe made on the stove and a slow cooker chicken cacciatore recipe.

Growing up, I was always happy when my Mom was making chicken cacciatore. We would eat it over pasta or noodles with lots of fresh grated cheese on top. It’s pure comfort food to me, and I always makes me think of Mom when I make it. This month I am trying to skip my carbs during the week (80/20) so I served this over spaghetti squash for me, and pasta for the family.

Although this works with any part of the chicken, I prefer to use lean skinless chicken thighs, on the bone. The chicken comes out so juicy and tender, and the bones add flavor to the sauce. Click here to see more Skinnytaste Instant Pot Recipes.
