One thing about chicken … just about anywhere you travel, you can bet you will find a thousand different recipes to match just about any taste. Don’t pass the chance to try a different dish on the chicken menu. Of all the chicken recipes I have tried, Italian Chicken Cacciatore is my favourite. Chicken is one meat you can cook many ways. So step out “on the edge of the wing,” as that is where the taste buds are.
Chicken cacciatore provides a taste of Italy to your table. I recommend boneless chicken.
Chinese-style chicken and rice is one of Murray’s mother’s recipes for a home-cooked meal. For a change of pace, tasty chicken wings can be cooked at home.Italian Chicken Cacciatore
