Chicken Cacciatore

Submitted by Alison J.

"This is my mother-in-law's recipe (although it was passed to her by other family members). She uses an electric skillet, but I just use a deep skillet on the stove. I love this recipe because it is easy enough for a weeknight meal, but also nice enough to serve guests."

This is a wonderful and very easy dish to prepare. My mother does not like spaghetti noodles so I used Rigatoni noodles and it worked just as well.
