Chicken Cacciatore
This Chicken Cacciatore recipe delivers a lot of flavor and is easy, easy, easy to make. This is my husbands favorite meal. So this is what I make him for those “special” occasions.
This hearty dish is made with lots of fresh herbs, tangy green olives, crisp celery, fried chicken all bubbly away in a red sauce. And if that wasn’t enough I added a splash of white wine and served it on a bed of pasta! Just like spaghetti this Chicken Cacciatore tastes even better the next day. 😀

If you freeze them, is it hard to squeeze a little out at a time?
Hi Anita,
The herbs do not freeze solid. I havn’t had any problems getting them out. 🙂
I use their Basil all the time! I’ll have to try some of their recipes! Great post!
Oh my this looks delicious. And what a great giveaway! Thanks for sharing at Church Supper. Have a blessed week, Happy Valentine’s Day and come back soon!
dinner looks very inviting, I have never seen the herbs will have to look in the produce section of my market andi
These look like a GREAT idea! Fresh herbs always go bad so quickly! I LOVE the idea of freezing them! It’s so cool that they don’t freeze!?!?! Great website too!
I love Gourmet Gardens, saves me a lot of money because unlike fresh herbs, they keep for so long. I never thought to freeze them! Great idea!
