History[edit | edit source]

The term "Hunter's Chicken" is a direct translation of Poulet Chasseur in French and Pollo alla Cacciatora in Italian. The dish is believed to have originated in the rural regions of Italy, where it was a common meal for hunters to prepare using the game they had caught. The ingredients used in the dish would vary depending on the season and the region.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

The preparation of Hunter's Chicken involves several steps. First, the chicken is seasoned with salt and pepper, then browned in a pan. The chicken is then removed from the pan, and the onions, garlic, and herbs are sautéed in the same pan to absorb the flavors left behind by the chicken. The tomatoes and wine (if used) are then added to the pan, and the chicken is returned to the pan to simmer in the sauce until it is fully cooked.

Variations[edit | edit source]

There are many variations of Hunter's Chicken, depending on the region and personal preference. Some versions include mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives. The type of wine used can also vary, with some recipes calling for red wine and others for white wine. Some versions of the dish do not use wine at all.
