After some experimentation with recipes I thought were too bland, I finally have an easy chicken cacciatore recipe which I think works well.
Ingredients:
6-8 chicken thighs or 2-3 turkey drumsticks
1 1/2 jars of spicy marinara sauce
2 bell peppers
3 tablespoons crushed garlic
2 medium onions
2 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 bay leaves
Deskin the poultry if necessary. Don't worry about deboning. Cut off all the visible fat off the poultry. Combine the ingredients in a large pot with two cups of water. Bring to a high boil, stir, reduce to a low boil and stir every twenty minutes or half-hour, adding water if necessary. When the poultry starts to fall apart, shred it. If the poultry had bones, pull out the poultry and strip the meat off the bones, throwing out the bones and putting the meat in the pot. Boil off water until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
Serve over egg noodles, other pasta, or ric.
