Chicken Cacciatore is one of the best Italian comfort foods!
Chicken Cacciatore is one of those dishes that can be enjoyed all year round. In the summer, I like to grill the chicken and veggies before letting it stew. During the colder months I use rabbit and I’ll add potatoes and breadcrumbs to make it a little more hearty. Serve it with warm, crusty bread and some vino for a delicious meal! This recipe serves 6 people and takes 45 minutes to make.
