Chicken Cacciatore for Two

Chicken Cacciatore is a rustic Italian classic, also known as “hunter’s style chicken.” This cozy one-pot dish is perfect for busy weeknights, delivering rich flavors without fuss. I love using skin-on chicken thighs for extra juiciness and crispy skin. Starting the chicken in a cold pan helps render the fat and achieve a golden, crunchy exterior.

In this recipe, I use simple pantry staples like canned San Marzano tomatoes, bell peppers, and shimeji mushrooms. A couple of anchovy fillets add umami depth, while rosemary keeps it aromatic and kid-friendly. Serve with polenta, rustic bread, or pasta for a comforting, hearty meal.
