This is a recipe from a neighbor lady (Christina Rebelos) who lived across the street during my childhood. (That family moved when I was a teenager and went on to own and manage a Greek restaurant in a small coastal town in Washington state). Tina was an excellent home cook and had all sorts of wonderful Greek and Italian recipes that she was always happy to share with others. This was her family's recipe that I've used as my "to go" recipe for Chicken Cacciatore for well over 40 years now. It's one of my most requested recipes. Thanks, Tina!
