About Pollo alla Cacciatora

Pollo alla cacciatora is an Italian chicken dish with a savoury tomato sauce. GialloZafferano’s classic rendition combines chicken pieces with red wine, onion, carrot, celery, garlic and rosemary.

The vegetables give the sauce sweetness and aromatic depth, balanced by tomato and wine. Rosemary adds a distinctive herbal note, with parsley as an optional fresh finish. Sage and olives are also offered additions.

Tender chicken pieces sit in a rich, reduced sauce with softened vegetables. The dish is presented hot, with the meat and sauce forming a substantial main course.
