"All the traditional ingredients of everybody's favorite Italian chicken dish--but this easier version is baked instead of simmered on top of the stove. Serve with spaghetti, rice, mashed potatoes or crusty bread for mopping up the sauce. From Ladie's Home Journal."

Excellent! I used portabello mushrooms, chicken breasts, and roasted red peppers to make this. This was so easy and so good. My chicken was tender as well. I served it with rice and green salad. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT7-Italy.

Reviewed for ZWT 7 visit to Italy. Great recipe Lazyme. Such and easy way to cook this recipe. I used 5 large skinless chicken breast pieces and chopped each into three chunks. and used brown rice flour to make this dish gluten-free ...otherwise made the recipe as stated. Served with creamy mashed potatoes for a delicious dinner. The chicken stayed tender. Photo also being posted.

WOW! Great recipe. Lots of flavor and very easy. I used thighs and wings, and I did leave the skin on the thighs, which worked great. They actually got pretty crisp. I also left out the red pepper (I forgot to buy one!) Served with Italian herbed rice and steamed broccoli. Made for ZWT 7.

This really is the best chicken cacciatore out there. The sauce was incredible. I ended up just using bone-in legs and thighs and kept the skin on. Loved it so much!
