Chicken Cacciatore

By Janaermo

My husband and I milk 125 cows. There are days when there's just no time left for cooking! It's really nice to be able to come in from the barn at night and smell this meal simmering-dinner is a simple matter of dishing it up. I've usd this recipe for many years, and everyone who tries it lfkes it. It's very easy to make,
but it's also special enough to serve when company comes to call.
