Chicken Cacciatore is the American for the Italian recipe of ‘Pollo alla Cacciatora’. Alla Cacciatora translates into “Hunter’s Style.” Game (such as pheasant, hare, and boar) can have a very strong taste, therefore the meat is often marinated at length in vinegar, wine, and spices. Marinades can tenderize and also enhance or disguise game flavor. More recently, the expansion of the human population has tremendously reduced wildlife, and restrictive legislation has made hunting difficult— thus game for cooking is in very limited supply.
Yet the way to cook game in everyday cuisine has translated into some of the most tasteful recipes. Pollo alla Cacciatora is a good example. Chicken Cacciatore is a very popular dish in the United States. The same recipes can be used to cook duck, rabbit, or lamb. In Italy, there are several similar recipes to this dish using wine instead of vinegar, and sometimes with the addition of tomatoes. This is my family recipe as my father thought me.
