What is Chicken Cacciatore?

Chicken Cacciatore is an Italian dish.

Cacciatore means “hunter-style”, which includes poultry, onions, tomatoes, vinegar or wine, and herbs.

This recipe results in an aromatic dinner that smells and tastes amazing.

Can I use anything else instead of chicken breast?

I prefer and recommend chicken breasts for this dish because they are more flavorful.

You can also use chicken thighs for a budget meal. In this case, cook for 10 minutes instead of 3.
