Chicken Cacciatore

Submitted by Okiegirl

"I came up with this recipe by combining the best of a couple recipes I had found in magazines. I do not like to have to deal with bones while eating this so I use chicken tenders. If you prefer dark meat you can use boneless thighs. This is one of my daughter's favorite meals."

Excellent. My first Chicken Cacciatore (that I can remember) and loved it. The herb combination was just excellent. I made as directed except to slow simmer, uncovered to let the sauce thicken up nicely. I'll probably add more onion and bell pepper next time but only because I'm a huge fan of both. Thanks for sharing. Made for PAC Spring 2011
