Great recipe! This is the second time I make chicken cacciatore and this recipe beats the other one by far. We had it for dinner and all three of us devoured it. It was so good my husband agreed to do the dishes... I did not have white wine so I made chicken broth out of one of the chicken bouillon cubes and used it instead. It tasted good still. Thanks for this recipe.

I love to cook, but don't have a lot of time to do it, since I work full time. I like to try a new recipe every Saturday, if time allows.
