Chicken Caccatore


Chicken Caccatore

   At the beginning of October,  when the weather got a little cooler,  I decided to make a small batch  of chicken caccatore.   I browned  the chicken in a heavy skillet in hot oil  and then removed the chicken.  In the same skillet, I cooked sliced onions and two cloves of minced garlic.  I then added the chicken back into the skillet.
   I added 1 can of tomato sauce, a can of stewed tomatoes, salt, pepper, oregano, basil and a bay leaf. and last but not least,  I added  chopped green peppers.  I was told that it was one of the most important ingredient in this recipe .
  I covered and simmered it for a while.    Then 15 minutes before serving,  I added 1/2 cup of dry white wine and  I simmered it without the cover. I removed the bay leaf and I served it over egg noodles.
     It was delicious....
