Chicken cacciatore

Here we go another chicken dish but we eat a lot of chicken in my family so its always good to find new recipes. I'm with Nigella that I prefer chicken thighs to chicken breast for both flavour and texture but if you prefer to use chicken breasts thats fine.

This recipe is really easy and quick makes a great after work dinner, The use of celery salt is a bit different and you can just use ordinary salt if you like but its a good thing to have in your store cupboard and it lasts for ages, isnt expensive and adds a really good flavour to a lot of dishes.


I make no claims to the authenticity of the recipe I adapted a few different ones I found to make it slimming world friendly.




Chicken Cacciatore

• 8 chicken thighs (all skin and fat removed) cut into chunks
• 4oz lean back bacon (chopped)
• 1 clove garlic (crushed) 
• 1 large onion (chopped)
• 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 can chopped tomatoes

Add the garlic, rosemary,celery salt, stock and tomatoes and stir well put in the bay leaves and bring to a simmer, Simmer for 20-30 minutes until the sauce has reduced then remove the bay leaves and serve.
