Classic Chicken Cacciatore

: Alex GuarnaschelliCacciatore means “hunter’s style” and I always imagine a group of hunter gathered around a fire digging into bowls of this. It’s the same way I imagine the crew from a fishing boat gathered on the dock for some fish stew. This dish is belly warming and tastes great the next day.
