Suburban Chicken Caccitore with Fresh Tomatoes – Recipe

Chicken Cacciatore 005I really like preparing chicken dishes.

If it wasn’t for the  traditional turkey for Thanksgiving,  I would be just as happy to roast a chicken for that meal as well.

Would you like to share your favorite recipe with Suburbangrandma’s audience?

Please email your recipe to me, and include a picture (if possible) of the finished product, as well as the name you would like to get credit under, so I can publish it on my blog.

I would appreciate that very much, and so would all of my readers.  Thank you.

Today I picked a whole bunch of nice ripe tomatoes from my garden, thus perfect timing for cooking up some Chicken Caccitore, Suburban style, in an electric skillet.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
