Chicken Cacciatore is a classic Italian dish that translates to "hunter's chicken." It features chicken simmered in a rich, flavourful sauce made with tomatoes, onions, garlic, bell peppers, olives, and herbs like oregano and basil. The dish is typically cooked slowly, allowing the chicken to absorb the savoury flavours of the sauce, making it hearty and comforting. It’s often served with pasta or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
