MY CHICKEN CACCIATORE

HOMEMADE GOODNESS.

On Thursday, March 12, 2015, I posted my “Not QuiteChicken Cacciatore”. While not a traditional cacciatore recipe it is quite tasty. Nevertheless, this evening I am posting my original recipe, which I simply call, “MY CHICKEN CACCIATORE

It is the recipe we would eat when all the ingredients are on hand. I hope you enjoy it.

Remember during these crazy times of COVID 19 to Wash your hands frequently, wear a mask and gloves, and for God Sake … Stay well!
