A Little Story About This Dish…
Chicken Cacciatore (loosely translated to: Hunter’s Style Chicken), is one of the classic “Old School” Italian countryside dishes.
This recipe uses chicken thighs which we love, because they are meaty, juicy and hold up particularly well in a casserole dish such as this one.
White wine can be substituted for red wine if that’s what you have on hand and you’ll want to be sure your stocks (broths), are very rich and flavorful.
This is a great cold weather comfort dish that is even more enjoyable the next day, so don’t be shy to double up the recipe. (Bone In chicken preferred).
