Chicken Cacciatore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is one of those dishes I found years ago in an old, tattered Italian cookbook.

It is so perfect, it\u2019s one your entire family will look forward to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is chicken cacciatore?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Derived from the word ‘caccia<\/em>‘, cacciatore<\/em> means ‘hunter’ in Italian, and alla cacciatora<\/em> translates to a ‘hunter-style’ meal dating back to the Renaissance. This classic Italian dish has become a true Italian-American favorite, made with chicken (or rabbit), onions, tomatoes, herbs, vegetables, and usually wine or vinegar. It is perfect for serving alongside some crusty bread<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tip:<\/strong> This tomato sauce is incredibly versatile. If you have any leftovers, you can easily reuse it later in the week to bake over some spinach and ricotta stuffed pasta<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
