CHICKEN CACCIATORE
In Italian, Cacciatore refers to a hunter-style way of cooking and typically involves braising and slow cooking bone-in chicken in a tomato sauce. Our simplified version uses boneless chicken breasts and comes together in around 45 minutes, which is mostly hands-off work. The long simmer time is responsible for developing the tomato sauce's robust flavor. Pounding the chicken breasts ensures the chicken will cook quickly and evenly and delivers a juicy, tender bite. Toss any veggies you have on hand into this great dish, and use your favorite red wine to enhance the flavor. Branch out beyond pasta and serve it over polenta.
