Chicken Cacciatore Voigt

Active time- washing, chopping, sauteing- 15 minutes. Cooking time- 60-75 minutes Then it’s enjoying time! There are two variations on this recipe: Variation#1: You may add some small tasty dried black olives (not those creepy canned ones- which are only good for finger decorations) to the chicken and sauce mixture in the last minute or two of cooking.
Variation #2: IF serving at family occasions, add a big green salad, some crusty Tuscan bread and, depending on how many family members and who they are, even more wine.
