Chicken Cacciatora, as it is called, is sometimes also known as “Chicken Hunter Style.” The latter is the literal translation of the original Italian name of the dish, “Pollo alla Cacciatora.”

This is the popular tomato-sauce version of Southern Italy. Serve with hot noodles or spaghetti sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, and a salad.

Here are two classic recipes for this chicken dish from the early 1960s.
