The recipe for chicken cacciatore is suitable for cooking not only in the home kitchen but also in nature in a cauldron. It is very similar to the recipe of the Georgian popular dish chakhokhbili. It is distinguished by the use of olive oil and seasonings. Although I generally used the French collection of Provencal herbs. Chicken is best used at home, because firstly it is more useful, and secondly it does not fall apart, keeps its downed structure. Instead of tomato juice, you can use ground tomatoes. For a beautiful presentation of the dish, I recommend removing the skin from the bird. As a rule, it breaks away from pieces of meat and the dish becomes not very presentable. This is a tip for those who cook for guests. The finished dish itself serves as an addition to the side dish. Italians especially like to serve it with pasta. Bon appetit!
