The Chicken Cacciatore is one of the most beloved meat main courses of Italian cuisine. Today we were inspired by this recipe to make white Chicken Cacciatore! It is an equally tasty version, without tomatoes, with the addition of green olives! Just like in the original recipe, the sauté of carrots, celery, and onion combined with aromatic herbs gives the chicken an unmistakable flavor. We chose to use chicken thighs as they are meatier, but this recipe can be made with any part of the chicken, and the result is always guaranteed!
