Delicious Chicken Cacciatore. I have cooked chicken about a thousand different ways and my favorites tend to be those that keep the chicken the juiciest. This dish has succulent chicken that’s cooked in Mezzetta Pasta Sauce alongside Onions, Bell Peppers, Chicken Broth and Kalamata Olives. The tastes dance together and the olives give a bit of salt. The taste is on another level than what you’d expect, but it has the flavor of something out of an expensive restaurant. The dish is simple to prepare and tastes amazing.

Sep 11, 2015 at 7:03 amWow, this really looks like a delicious meal for the family to share. It’s great to be eaten with rice because I’m sure that the marinara pasta sauce is super tasty. I like that you added dry white wine to add to the flavor. Yellow onions and garlic are other spices that will surely stand out as well.
