Delicious

Boneless chicken cacciatore is one of the most rustic chicken dishes you can possibly make. This style of chicken exists all over Italy. It also refers to game like rabbit or venison. This dish is exceptional and should be made in a slow cooker or crock pot for the best results.

Of course I’ve made this chicken before on the bone. Anything on the bone adds more depth of flavor. But in this case I prefer this Chicken Cacciatore recipe because you don’t have to pick out the bones and all you need to do is put it together and leave it alone. It’s a quick and easy recipe anybody can make.

Just let the flavors of the onion, mushrooms, tomatoes and spices mingle together along with the chicken and you’ll have chicken that will melt in your mouth. Make it with pasta or the way I prefer it is with a creamy Parmesan risotto.
