Celebrity chef Ina Garten always has something to offer that we love—from her aspirational gardening content to her delicious recipes. These recipes are exactly the kind of tasty dishes we want to make all the time, like Ina's simple apple tart or meal-prep-ready baked chicken breasts.
Ina Garten's chicken cacciatore recipe is basically chicken cooked in a sauce comprising mushrooms, onions, red and yellow peppers, and other vegetables. The sauce is well seasoned with dried herbs, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.
If you don’t like mushrooms, use extra bell pepper. Try baby bellas or white button mushrooms. To make this recipe with white meat, you can use boneless chicken breasts instead of thighs. How To Make Ina Garten Best Chicken Cacciatore Recipe In The Slow Cooker?
