Chicken Cacciatore

Ingredient List

Chicken Cacciatore

Chicken cacciatore is one of those recipes that has many, many different versions: with tomatoes, without tomatoes, with red wine, with white wine, or with no wine at all. While I do not claim that this chicken cacciatore is any more authentic than another, it is at least a quick and easy version that happens to be low fat.
