Pollo alla cacciatora – is a popular Italian dish. It’s so easy and super tasty!!! Poultry or rabbit (chicken in our case) stewed in tomato sauce with herbs and cherry tomatoes, which add some fresh notes to the dish.
There is a thousand of variations of this recipe. I love the one by Gennaro Contaldo, which I am sharing with you today. If you like stewed chicken you must try out this recipe!
