Chicken cacciatore has been reinvented with my 5-star take on the classic favourite. With a combination of bold tomato sauce and luscious porcini mushrooms, this chicken recipe is moist, flavourful, and finger-licking-fabulous.
This is one of my favorite chicken recipes ever.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE | Homemade Cacciatore Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
Dried Porcini mushrooms (or fresh if you can get them)
1 x whole organic chicken cut into pieces (or less if you’re not hungry, but you’ll regret not making extra!)
1 glass of white wine
400gr of Italian Tomato Sauce
1 ½ cups of boiling water
2 x garlic cloves
2 x medium sized carrots (diced into small cubes)
2 x celery sticks (diced into small cubes)
Fresh rosemary sprigs
Freshly chopped parsley (to serve)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
Salt & Pepper
Dried mixed herbs
METHOD:
1. If you are using dried Porcini mushrooms for your chicken cacciatore, put them into a medium size bowl and add 2 x glasses of boiling water. Put this to the side.
2. Put a medium size casserole dish or deep frying pan on the stove at medium heat. Add extra virgin olive oil and leave to warm up.
3. Add 2 x garlic cloves to the pan (leave them whole) and a few sprigs of rosemary.
4. Mix using a wooden spoon and leave to simmer for a minute or so.
5. Add the chicken pieces to the pan, one next to the other and leave to simmer for a few minutes. Once the chicken pieces have begun to brown on one side, turn them over to brown the other side too.
6. Add salt, pepper and dried mix herbs to season. Leave to simmer and turn once again.
7. Add the diced carrot and celery into the pan, making sure the chicken is completely surrounded. You may need to turn it over again.
8. Add 1 ½ glasses of white wine to the chicken cacciatore and leave to simmer, covering the pan with the lid so the aromas are infused into the chicken.
9. After approx. 5 minutes, uncover the pan and add the Italian passata. Use the tongs to move the chicken around and make sure the sauce has spread well throughout the pan.
10. Then, add the porcini mushrooms along with the water into the pan, mix well and leave covered to infuse for at least 4-5 minutes.
11. Uncover the pan and turn the chicken pieces around one last time and leave for another 2-3 minutes.
12. Once the water has evaporated and sauce has thickened, your chicken cacciatore dish is ready to be served!
E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate…Enjoy!

Great looking recipe Vincenzo!! I love the colors in this dish and using that green dutch oven was a great idea for added color! Job well done brother!!! Wishing I had a plate of that Chicken Cacciatore right now!
Greetings to you Signore Vincenzo all the way from sunny India. This is the first video of yours that I hit upon-was looking for the original Chicken Cacciatore as made by Phillip Marlowe between bouts of detecting-and the moment I saw that free ranging chicken
'moorgha' 'to us chicken addicts -and it was like a homecoming down the ages continents apart' Ahaaa! Vincenzo knows what's what. He goes into his backyard / streets in his town and 'borrows' the neighbour's homegrown chicken for a real delicious meal. He doesn't pick it off a supermarket shelf." That's a joke, but our childhood memories consisted of chasing these noisy chooks in our yard,for a Sunday or special occasion feast!
Also, hey,only 2 cloves of garlic? None of our traditional chicken meals can do without 3 cloves crushed in pestle and mortar with rosemary,and just 1 leaf [Not more ]of sacred Basil for 1 kg chicken,both bruised slightly with the garlic for the aroma before frying.
And shallots greens for the colour. Grate the tomatoes,fry them in homemade garlic butter before adding them to the chicken sauce. And as we in India are not afraid of the Blessed Foods of The Good Book -butter and cream-drizzle some on top before serving,please. A visual feast,red green with swirls of creamy white.And yes,no leftovers are left over when served over hot spaghetti… Cheers!
You look like a handsome Italian man, you sound Italian….2 cloves of garlic ain't Italian! 🙂
il Nome della Ricetta è Pollo alla Cacciatora
i felt greasy just by watching
You've earned your self a subscriber sir
This is my favourite way to cook rabbit
AAAAAA I WANT TO EAT THAAAAAT! When will you be in London so we can make a cultural food collab?
I'm a new subscriber do you you have a recipe for Ratatouille
Delizioso
You my friend are a culinary genius I love this recipe my aunt used to make it for me when I was younger she added green bell pepper and black olives too
Grazie.
Made this! It was fantastic! My mom's allergic to tomatoes so instead of tomato sauce I puréed fire-roasted red peppers. If I hadn't made it myself, I would never know it was sans tomato.
I saw Giada's horrible version. This is way better.
Your food look so yummy! Can I use chicken stock instead of white wine? Thanks ☺
Will make this tonight! Looks amazing and easy to make
5 Michelin Stars you say?? Great looking chicken thank you
I didn't know what to do with the chicken that I'm preparing for tonight. I was out of ideas … even though, you can cook chicken with just about anything.
I noticed some dried porcini ( my favorite), in the cupboard, and took a chance on YouTube videos. Cacciatore with porcini!! Brilliant! I had done it many times, with "button," and Crimini mushrooms, and can't imagine why I never thought of porcini.
Everything that you called for was "on hand." (I don't care for celery, but will substitute artichoke hearts.)
It's still a few hours, until I have to begin cooking. I can't wait.
Thank you!
Amazing video
My great grandmother migrated from Florence Italy and brought with her recipes that she passed down to my grandmother and then to my mother. Unfortunately the recipes were lost and among them the recipe for chicken cacciatoroe. This one looks great. I will try to follow this recipe, but finding farm fresh chicken may be difficult here. Thumbs up! and thanks.
