Easy Chicken Cacciatore is a delicious Italian one-dish meal, packed with tender potatoes and green beans.
It’s been a few months since I’ve shared with you here at Real Housemoms, and I’m happy to say that I’m now a regular contributor, so you’ll be seeing me sharing recipes once a month. Let’s do a quick refresh on what I’m all about.
I’m Rachel, a no-pattern-sewing, eye-ball-it-crafting, shortcut-recipe-making kind of girl. I’m a sucker for old missions, Snickers candy bars, babies, cocktails and puppies {not necessarily in that order}. I’ve been married for 20+ years, we have 5 children and 2 grand children. I love to travel and one day hope to see other countries like Italy, Austria, and France, just to name a few. My readers are awesome and love to connect with them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter& G+. My life can be crazy and unpredictable, but that’s OK, because I love my disorganized life.

I love easy meals, and that includes cleanup. It’s not that I mind doing dishes, but the less time I have to spend on them, the better. That’s just one thing I love about this dish, it’s made in one pan. Plus, it’s my mom’s recipe and brings back childhood memories. I can recall her making it and the smell floating throughout the house was amazing.
Just a few simple ingredients, a little bit of time {but not too much} and you’ve got yourself a hearty meal that your family will enjoy.
Ingredients
- 4 thin chicken breasts
- Olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic peeled and crushed {peel garlic the easy way}

- 15 oz can tomato sauce
