This is a childhood favorite of mine.
Ingredients

Directions
- Slice the green bell pepper and mushrooms.

- Serve with pasta cooked al dente.
- Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Note: My mother traditionally served her chicken cacciatore with spaghetti. I often use a heartier pasta such as penne or rigatoni. This dish is a perfect for that whole wheat pasta you've been wanting to try.
Cacciatore means "hunter" in Italian.
