Chicken Cacciatore

Chicken Cacciatore

Chicken Cacciatore is a hunter style Italian stew, comprised of chicken, aromatic herbs, and vegetables in a rich, rustic wine and tomato sauce.

 

A rather simple dish, however no compromises are made in taste and aroma, thanks to the delicious tomato sauce which enhances the flavour of the chicken. Needless to say, the quality of the ingredients is of high importance to the end result.

 

The secret to our sauce is Di Napoli Chopped Tomato. Di Napoli use only the highest quality tomatoes, grown in Italy, and perfected by almost 100 years of Italian tradition and experience. Each and every ingredient used is carefully sourced and selected. You'll love cooking with these products too.

 

This dish is perfect for cozy family lunch or dinners, especially during the cooler days and months. 

 

Serve with creamy polenta, crusty bread, or pasta to soak up the delectable sauce.

 

 

Note: Rabbit is a suitable alternative to chicken
