"Yes" this is very good cacciatore. I used to have a good recipe but lost it, so have not made it in a very long time. But now will use this one. I did add 1 celery stalk and some red pepper flakes. It was even better the next day.There was a lot of gravy left. Was I suppose to thinken it? Any way I used it as a sauce over macaroni and this made a great new recipe.Thanks Beeks for a real keeper.

I didn't realize there were so many recipes for chicken cacciatore. Anyway, love this one and the only changes I made is to omit the mint and add some hot pepper flakes. Always use a good red wine - it seems to have more b ody. Thanks Beeks.
