Chicken Cacciatore is a classic Italian dish, and Ospidillo Cafe's version is no exception. This dish is a combination of tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and Italian herbs, creating a flavor explosion in every bite. The chicken is seasoned with salt and red pepper, then perfectly browned by sautéing it in olive oil. The onions, bell pepper, and garlic add even more flavor as they absorb the chicken drippings in the pot. The dish is then baked in the oven to ensure the chicken is falling off the bone. This recipe is perfect for a family gathering or a cozy night in.
