Chicken or Turkey Cacciatore

[ebartley]

After some experimentation with recipes I thought were too bland, I finally have an easy chicken cacciatore recipe which I think works well

My guess is if you find tomatoes or tomatoes or sauce made from tomatoes that have a lot of natural flavor, you'll find much less need for other strong flavors.

That "marinara" sauce varies a lot is a good point; the sauce I used last time was Barilla brand, sauce Arrabbiata / Spicy Marinara. I'll probably play around with tomato paste and mild sauces (oregano, basil, etc.) sometime: those are more consistent.

I think the umame (msg, more or less) taste of the tomato is supposed to be a mojor flavor component of a cacciatore, but there isn't as much of that in most commercial tomatoes as there was 40 years ago.
