Reviews
I used 5 chicken tenders and got a great sear on them in a cast iron pan. I did not have the tomatoes written in the recipe but I did have a 14 oz. can of petite diced tomatoes. Other than that, I stuck to the recipe. The kitchen smelled heavenly and I have enough rice and cacciatore left for another meal.
I’ve made this recipe a few times, it’s so good. I most confess I haven’t tried the rice, I put it over rigatoni
I’ve made this recipe many times and made it exactly as the recipe calls for, it is a delicious recipe. I would reccomend a good sear on all sides of the chicken. I served it with spaghetti on the side.
