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!

Wash the celery stalk and cut it into cubes the same size as the carrots 4. Peel the onion, then slice and chop it coarsely 5. Pour the oil into a large pan, let it heat up, and add the chopped vegetables 6.
Let them brown for a couple of minutes over medium heat, stirring often 7. Lightly flour the chicken thighs, shaking off the excess flour 8, and when the vegetables are well browned, add the chicken to the pan, placing them skin side down 9.
Let them brown and when they are well browned, turn them over 10. Salt and pepper 11, then add the garlic clove 12
