As usual, I went to the grocery store with no idea of what I was going to make for dinner that evening. I was at Kroger and noticed their limited time Taste of Italy promotion along with some of the fantastic Italian products they were featuring. I picked up this jar of Bertolli Tomato & Basil sauce as my inspiration and made my way to the produce isle.
I have been a bit under the weather lately and was craving some classic comfort food. For me, Rustic Italian equates to comfort food. Whether it is a big bowl of spaghetti bolognese or chicken parmesan, it all tastes amazing and just gives you that feeling of mom whipping up something for you to feel better!
Well, mom isn’t making me dinner, but I decided to prepare one of my all-time favorites she made when we were children, Chicken Cacciatore.
I can’t lie, there wasn’t a ton of her dishes I was crazy about. This doesn’t mean she is a bad cook, in fact she is actually a great cook. We just grew up on a farm where beef and potatoes were the regular fair. Every once and a while she would change things up and try a new dish. One time she tried Chicken Cacciatore and everyone loved it, including the meat and potato boys. I’m pretty sure ever since then, this dish was my request for just about every birthday dinner as a child!
Although mom’s version was great, I was inspired to spice it up a bit thanks to the Tuscan-inspired Bertolli sauce I grabbed at Kroger. I added lots of veggies, chicken and brown rice to my basket and made my way home, excited to put my own twist on this Italian classic. I added some red wine for a bit more depth of flavor and lots of vegetales to pair with the split chicken breast for a wholesome and hearty meal.
