Chicken Cacciatore

By



A classic Italian dish that I love making. The “caccia” in cacciatore means “hunt,” so I guess this is chicken hunter’s style. It’s been an Italian-American favorite for years and a dish with roots going back to the Renaissance. This dish is good made with a whole chicken, but I prefer it made with drum sticks and thighs only. It’s great with polenta or some pasta, but I love it with a chunk of crusty semolina bread. Join me in my kitchen as I make it here. #LidiasRecipes #LidiasItaly #LidiasKitchen #LidiaBastianich #ItalianFood #25YearsofLidia #FromLidiasTableToYours #lidiassoundtrack

    One of the first meals I made for my new husband and several of his GI friends. I honestly don’t why I knew how to make it but I watched you and by gum, I did it right…I learned to cut up a chicken when I was 8 years old…( out of necessity). We had a crusty bread and a good wine they brought….i cooked this in England 56 years ago…when finding all the ingredients wasn’t as easy as you might think. I prepared the tomato’s myself..not the same kind as I would in later years…when I canned my own. Thank you for making me feel so good about as you say..using common sense.

    I’ve tried to make homemade pasta and never got it right. I used your recipe…boom, perfect!!! My hubby likes store bought pasta. No accounting for taste, I love it!!!!

    Before you cooked the veggies, you poured out the oil from the chicken…..and then used new oil. Why didn’t you just use the same oil ? Seems like it would have given it even MORE flavor !

    My recipe for chicken cacciatore came from my Sicilian mother-in-law. She baked it in the roasting pan with poatoes, celery, and peppers. Then the last 15 minutes you add the peas, mushrooms, and olives. The first part also includes the tomato sauce. And we added rice to serve at the table. There was always extra veggies for some reason, so we added pasta to it for another meal.
    Also, I say an Italian table is set with knife, fork, spoon and bread.

    I always enjoy your show, Lidia. So did my blessed and beloved mother. Her family was from Sicily. They sailed from Naples to New York before she was born, obviously. She and her siblings were the first to be born, here. We lost her last year, she was 91. But your show helps me remember the fun I always had with her in the kitchen. She especially always loved it when your mother was on the show. God bless you both and thank you.😊

    Lidia, just love watching your relaxed way of cooking. I am 89 years old and you bring my Mom's Italian way of cooking to memory. Both she and my mother-in-law taught me so much. God bless you.

    Such a simply delicious dish and the rustic bread with cheese really adds to it . Polenta underneath would give it an extra kick, or serve it Cuban style, over rice !

    Why would a knowledgeable woman cook with crappy vegetable oil? I can’t believe she doesn’t know better.

    Vegetable oil is so bad for you. Please use oils from a fruit, like olive oil. Mama mia! Other than that, I'm making this tonight.
