The beauty of this dish is that there is no wrong way to make it. The origin of this dish comes from the Italian “Pollo Alla Cacciatore,” which means chicken prepared in the style of a hunter. Simplified, we call this Hunters-style chicken. The intended expression of this dish is that you would throw whatever you had available, be it wild mushrooms, celery, carrots, or whatever else you could find in nature and cook it all together. Originally this would have been prepared with a whole chicken roasted over an open fire, perhaps using a Dutch oven or using some other similar camping style cookware. So when you prepare this dish, feel free to use whatever veggies you have available on hand, and don't beat yourself up about using the exact ingredients for accuracy.
