Usually, chicken cacciatore is made with tomatoes, but not in this recipe. The Roman style is to stew the bird with rosemary, vinegar, garlic, white wine, and anchovies. Delicious, smooth-tasting sauce with the chicken.

How To Make roman style chicken cacciatore

  • Step 1
    Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the oil to a large pan. Add the chicken and don't crowd the pan.
  • Step 2
    Brown the chicken and remove it to a plate.
  • Step 3
    Add the rosemary and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the white wine and let most of it evaporate.
  • Step 4
    Add the chicken back to the pan and add the vinegar and chicken stock.
  • Step 5
    Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and add the anchovies.
  • Step 6
    Cover and simmer about 30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. If it gets too dry, add more chicken stock.
  • Step 7
    Remove the rosemary before you serve. Serve with the sauce drizzled over the chicken. This is great over cheesy polenta.
