Chicken Cacciatore is an Italian comfort food and I love making it in my iron skillet because it is so quick and easy. This dish can be served with any pasta or rice of your preference. My favorite way to serve it is with Potato Gnocchi! As always I hope you give this recipe a try, and I am sure it will become a favorite.
