Chicken Cacciatore

Really good, the Chicken Cacciatore is one of the most satisfying, delicious and comforting Italian dishes you can make at home.

Tasty, rich, earthy and plentiful are just some of the characteristics that come to mind when describing this rustic dish. Often, served with spaghetti or on polenta, there's no way you do not like this amazing chicken frying pan. I've been making Chicken Cacciatore for more years than I can admit, but this latest version is by far the best I've had.
