This Italian dish features chicken pieces (such as thighs, legs, breast and wings), tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, and herbs. It's a delicious one-dish meal that can be served over a bed of cooked pasta or rice, and it's perfect for busy weeknights.  The name of this dish comes from the Italian phrase, "alla cacciatora," which means "hunter-style." This hearty and flavorful dish has been enjoyed for generations and is a great way to get a little bit of everything on one plate.
