I tried this recipe using all thighs (my favorite part). For the most part, I really like it, but, I think the bacon was overpowering. I'd use half the bacon and remove it before serving next time. I also tried a second version without the bacon, and added about 3 or 4 ounces of tomato paste. Loved it! My friend said, "you mean you discovered chicken cacciatori!"<br/><br/>I said, "Yes...yes, I did."

Welcome! I joined this website in 2001, as a new wife and Mom of a 1 y/o and I was 28 yrs old and did not know about cooking. I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes. I hope you like my recipes and your family enjoys them also....there is many here and I love to pass them on.
