POLLO ALLA CACCIATORA

This is an old favourite - chicken cooked "the hunter's way," which grants a certain amount of culinary licence. This, my, version is traditional enough, only speeded up and simplified. The only unexpected deviation lies in the addition of a can of cannellini beans. This, in effect, turns it into a quick, one-pot, all-inc supper. Having said that, I also adore it - as do my children - with plain steamed rice, as well. But whatever. When I cook this, I know I can count on getting tea on the table from scratch in comfortably under half an hour.

Cacciatora should be cooked slowly so that the flavors blend and the chicken is tender. Simmer slowly and when finished, dip some hard crusted Italian bread in the sauce. Mangia! Mangia!
