I made this recipe for my dad and myself. He had two comments, very good and very tasty. He usually doesn't say anything about a dinner or usually just one comment so I know he liked this. I had no mushrooms so I left them out. I will have them next time, I love mushrooms. I used chicken breasts and added Mozzarella cheese slices and also Pecorino Romano cheese on top at the last seven minutes of cooking. I also had no rosemary so I used Italian seasonings that has rosemary in it plus other herbs. It was real easy to make. It took me about 1 1/2 hours total prep and cooking time. I served it with green beans sauteed in butter with onions, garlic, salt and pepper, and a small salad.

A nice, easy to follow recipe that resulted in a tasty family meal. I added kalamata olives at the end and served it over pasta with Parmesan cheese on top. I think I like a mix of basil and oregano in my Cacciatore more than the rosemary.
