My mother used to made chicken cacciatore and we lost the recipe. After searching on the internet and trying recipes, we finally found the one. It tastes exactly like the one we found. The only difference is we adjusted the amount of red pepper flakes and noted it in the recipe. We always serve this like mom did with mashed potatoes but you could also use rice or pasta. The recipe is from Keith Young. Ingredients:
flour to coat chicken |
2 -3 lbs chicken (cut up) |
3/4 cup olive oil |
6 garlic cloves, peeled and halved |
10 to 12 ounces sliced white mushrooms |

2 green bell peppers, cored, seeded and sliced in 1/2 inch strips |
2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded and sliced in 1/2 in strips |
1 cup dry white wine |
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth |
1 (28 ounce) can of whole tomatoes with their juice, crushed |
1 pinch red pepper |
kosher salt |

2 -3 tablespoons tomato paste |
6 leaves fresh basil, chopped |

1. Place four in a shallow dish
