Pollo alla Cacciatora

As we embrace the flavors of our past, we often find ourselves returning to recipes that have been passed down through generations, each carrying with them the stories and memories of our loved ones. Today, we bring you a recipe that is as much a feast for the soul as it is for the palate — Pollo alla Cacciatora with Davide’s.

Palmiera’s Legacy in the Kitchen

Growing up in a bustling Italian household, Sundays were always special for Palmiera, Micah's grandmother and the heart of the Calamosca family kitchen. With the windows open and the scents of fresh herbs and simmering tomatoes wafting through the air, Palmiera would prepare her beloved Pollo alla Cacciatora for the family.

Every ingredient was chosen with care, and her passion for cooking was evident in every dish she made. But the real secret to her cacciatora was the sauce — a robust, flavorful base that brought all the ingredients together in a harmonious blend. As she always said, “A good sauce is like a warm embrace; it brings everything together.”

Bringing the Tradition Forward

Today, we keep Palmiera’s tradition alive with a twist that’s perfect for modern cooks who want the same authentic flavors without spending hours in the kitchen. By using Davide’s Sauce, we’re able to capture the essence of her cooking — the slow-simmered, deep flavors of tomatoes and herbs — in a jar that’s ready when you are.

This recipe is a celebration of those Sunday dinners, filled with laughter, love, and the comforting aroma of home-cooked meals. With Davide’s Sauce, you can bring the same warmth and tradition to your table, creating new memories while honoring the old.

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 jar Davide’s Sauce
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, skin-side down, and brown them on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

2. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

3. Add Davide’s Sauce: Pour the jar of Davide’s Sauce into the skillet, stirring to combine it with the sautéed onions and garlic. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes to enhance its flavors.

4. Combine Ingredients: Return the browned chicken pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Add the white wine, bell pepper, mushrooms, rosemary, and thyme. Stir everything together to ensure the chicken is well-coated with the sauce and other ingredients.

5. Simmer: Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

6. Finish and Serve: Once the chicken is done, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Pollo alla Cacciatora with Davide’s Sauce with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of pasta.
