Carne (Meat Dishes) / Recipes

Chicken alla cacciatora with olive mash

When it comes to home cooking, it’s all about those lighter, quick, simple dinners, throughout Monday to Friday. As many of you know, life and work can get hectic during the working week so I prefer to eat meals that will fit around and support what my mind and body needs. However, when it comes to the weekend, it’s a totally different agenda. I’m a massive fan of treating yourself, celebrating life and wins from the past week. That includes enjoying a delicious hearty meal where you have the time to enjoy a little food coma after. Love those. Anyways, this recipe of CHICKEN ALLA CACCIATORE with olive mash just fits that description. Inspired by a roman classic dish that I enjoyed on my Italian food tour last year. Very simple and straight forward recipe but just needs a little time and patience but as all Tiny Italian recipes, very much worth the wait.
