Try the easiest and the best chicken cacciatore recipe. My Mom’s Italian recipe. Besides my Italian Grandmother, my Mom was one of the most awesome when it came to cooking Italian culinary delights. We used to all come together at the family dinner table with this chicken cacciatore on Sunday afternoons. That was the time when the family all got together for an Italian feast. Our Sunday dinners always consisted of something with spaghetti sauce on it.

Ah, cacciatore, which translated means “hunter”. In Italian cuisine, serving chicken alla cacciatore, refers to a meal prepared hunter-style with tomatoes, herbs, onions and sometimes wine.

The dish is believed to have originated in the Renaissance years, in Italy, during the period of 1450 to 1600. At that time, however, only people of means were able to enjoy the poultry and the sport of hunting. 

I am not a super fan of chicken, but this was one of my favorite meals and still is to this day.

Italian cooking is just not all that hard. This recipe has few ingredients and doesn’t require a really long cooking time.
