Chicken Cacciatore
This recipe I have adapted over the years I don't use a whole chicken cut into pieces I use two free range chicken breasts which stay moist in flavour, you could use thighs, whatever you prefer.
I cook this dish for two, but you can double-up on the meat, stock and quantities of veg depending on how many mouths you have to feed.
This is a very simple way to cook chicken cacciatore, some recipe's say to cook for 1hour but I cook mine for an hour and half, just to make sure the carrots and celery are soft but again that is my personal preference.
You really get this lovely intense flavour coming through from the carrots, tomatoes and especially the celery.
It takes no time to prepare and yet you create this fabulous meal.
I served mine with steamed broccoli and found that this was very filling.
My picture doesn't do the dish justice I feel ,so I apologies for that.
