Chicken Cacciatore
Tuesday, October 01, 2024Chicken cacciatore is a rustic, warming and hearty chicken stew in a rich tomato-based sauce with vegetables, herbs and wine. Serve this earthy hearty stew with crusty bread or on a bed of polenta or pasta, sprinkled with some freshly grated Parmesan. I have used white wine, but you can definitely use red wine instead.
Chicken cacciatore, literally meaning “hunter's style chicken,” has origins that date all the way back to the 14th century. The primary meat of cacciatore back then was rabbit, but other versions add meats like salami and sausage as the protein of choice. Since then, chicken has evolved and become the crowd-pleaser.
