• 1 cup dry white wine (I use red if there is some open)
• 2-3 cups chicken broth or stock
• Juice of 1 grilled lemon and a bit of lemon zest
• 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, with their juice, crushed or and equal amount of fresh plum tomatoes

1. Season a whole cut up patted dry chicken with EVOO salt, pepper and a touch of ground red pepper flakes, grill over medium high heat until well browned, but not completely done.rnrn*Cut the chicken into 8 pieces. Everything can be prepped and the cacciatore can be prepared completely on the grill for a fantastic dinner Al Fresco
2. The pepper assortment is a guideline, today I picked more peppers so I have quite a variety.rnrnIn a large saute pan over medium high heat add the oil and butter, saute mushrooms until they have a little crispness to them remove them from the pan. Add the peppers and onions saute until soft add garlic and saute for a minute or two. Add the wine, stirring to pick up any pan goodies, add the chicken and simmer until almost all of the wine has evaporated. Stir in capers, the tomatoes, 2 cups of the chicken stock or broth, lemon juice and zest, tomato sauce, herbs and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 45. Add mushrooms and simmer 10 minutes. Remove bay leaf.rnrnGarnish with additional minced parsley a little freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, serve with pasta of your choice, for the summer version I make saffron orzo.
