"I threw this recipe together and was so happy with it that I wanted to share! I used a package of a whole chicken that was sectioned into its parts. The flavors come together very well if you keep the skin on the chicken, but you could definitely prepare this with 4 six ounce boneless-skinless chicken breasts."

This was a great idea! I served it over pasta, but it would have been much better over rice. I will change one thing when I make it again and that would be to double the amount of spices. The flavors came through, but I think the tomatoes and peppers over powered them a little. Overall this was very tasty and a lot less "boring" than traditional cacciatore.
