This was the best Cacciatore I have ever made or tasted. I used Spaghetti sauce in place of canned tomatoes. I also had no wine. This gave it a nice sweet taste. We had it over angel hair pasta with a side salad and Italian Bread. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

This was delicious! Best tasting recipe! I cut up some baby kale and added to sauce at the last minute to add some greens since I didn't have time to fix a salad like I wanted to do. The taste is smooth and everything blends so well. I added a little honey for sweetness. I served it over thin spaghetti and used chicken breasts instead of a fryer. I used white cooking wine. It was a hit and hubby kept commenting on how delicious it tasted. House smelled like an Italian restaurant, too.

I will add this recipe to my favorites. Thanks CM!

I believe I have a new favorite recipe! Absolutely delish! The only change I made was I didn't have any wine so I made it without and I used a can of stewed tomatoes because that's what I had for canned tomatoes. OMG! Yum! I served it with a small sprinkling of parmesan cheese, homemade bread with butter, on some whole grain whole wheat spaghetti!

Wow! This dish is sooo good. I love how the chicken comes out nice and tender, and the sauce is packed full of flavor. The onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and herbs really make it special!
