HEART HEALTHY CHICKEN CACCIATORE

This recipe is one that my mom adapted to make heart heathy for my dad who had had a heart attack. She is an excellent cook and was able to adjust almost all of her recipes to make them heart healthy. We all ate healthier after that! Very simple to make and guests never suspect it is actually good for them which is an added bonus. Enjoy! Note another person posted this photo and it does not look anything like my original recipe.

HEALTHY CHICKEN CACCIATORE

I can't vouch for the authenticity of this 'italian' dish but it sure is delicious! Skinless chicken breast and the use of cooking spray help this dish to be low in fat. It can be served over pasta or without for a lower carb option.
