Suggestions: . Add 3-4 anchovy filets while sauteeing the onions - they WON'T taste fishy and they add real depth of flavor. Add 1 1/2 inch chunks of carrot and 1 inch chunks of celery - big enough to not break down during the cooking. Add 4 - 6 more chicken pieces because you are going to have left over sauce. Use the extra chicken and sauce for pasta or it was wonderful as soup to which you could add a small pasta if desired. Double the recipe and freeze leftovers for an easy meal another time. This was terrifically flavorful and my guests raved and asked for the recipe. Oh, yes, the prep time is more like 45 to an hour, especially if you are using chicken with the skin on.

I love this recipe. I made it last night for the first time. I had to use a different kind of mushroom, but it came out great. It's very easy to make, and the chicken came out tender. This recipe is in my recipe box for keeps! Yummy.

We had an "Italian" dinner with our family. We had many different dishes and this was by far the favorite. Be sure and cook it JUST like the recipe instructs. The chicken falls off the bone and the flavor is absolutely wonderful

I made the recipe for company--raves and raves. I did add a few things to the sauce. I added a dash of lemon juice, sugar, and balsamic vinegar. I also added red bell peppers to the sauted mixture.

This was so fantastic. It was everything I have been looking for in a chicken cacciatore recipe. It truly tastes like a hunters stew. The sauce was nice and thick and hearty. It is worth the time to make - other recipes that are quick do not taste nearly as good. Prep time is more like 1/2 hour to 45 minutes. Beware though - it has some kick. My husband is sensitive to spices. Next time I will 1/2 the spicy stuff (paprika, cayenne and crushed red pepper.

I made this tonight for my husband and 2 grown-up sons, it was allot of time to prepare, (don't believe the 15 minute prep time, unless you are a chef
It was sooo worth it!! I followed the recipe exactly,except I used chicken breasts and thighs and I doubled the recipe. After cooking for 1hour 10 minutes, the meat fell off the bones and it wasn't runny like some people posted on the reviews.It was great and so tasty!! Everyone loved it!! My husband who doesn't care for italian food, ate the WHOLE thing on his plate.
Thank God I doubled the recipe so there is a little left over.
Thank you Emeril for such a great recipe, we will be having this again!

I have made this dish for eight years now both for family gathering and dinner parties. It is always a hit. I usually substitue thighs, legs and breasts or just skinless chicken breasts, sliced fresh white or brown mushrooms and canned tomatoesbut the result are always terrific. People are always asking me for the recipe.

I followed the recipe with the following exceptions: 1 I used 4 boneless, skinless half breasts (for the white meat eaters and 4 boneless, skinless thighs---I added a sliced green pepper (for color and I had it in my garden---I used regular button mushrooms (because I had bunches of them.
OMG!!!! This was superb!!! A definite keeper not only for family but also a company dish. I didn't even begin the process until 5:00. We were eating by 6:30. You must try it----you won't be disappointed!!

Made this recipe to a T besides the fresh herbs (I used dried at the end and also substituted diced tomatoes for fresh. This recipe was excellent. The chicken was so moist and so flavorful. I will definitely make this recipe again. Cutting up an entire chicken was a process and I'm not sure if its worth it. But make the essence to flavor the chicken. That's where the flavor is at.

I made this recipe today and served it for an early dinner. Like others, I changed the recipe by using chicken breasts. Otherwise, I pretty much followed the recipe. The house smelled great and everone loved the results. I am definately not an experienced cook and all the ingredients seemed a bit daunting...but well worth the time and effort and now I will have another 'company' recipe. Although it probably took 2 hours total, it was basically easy too!
