NOTES : Cacciatore means "hunter" in Italian. And what could taste better
after a day's hunt than fresh chicken prepared with Italy's native tomatoes,
olive oil, onion, garlic, and wine. For starters, serve an antipasto salad,
followed by Chicken Cacciatore with pasta and shredded Parmesan cheese. Round
out the meal with garlic bread and spumoni.
