This is a lighter take on the classic Italian preparation of Chicken Cacciatore (or Chicken Hunter Style). Our made-over version uses white meat rather than dark and less oil to cut almost 60 calories per serving and reduce the fat and sodium of the traditional recipe.

"This recipe is very low calorie if you go easy on the pasta, rice and butter. It is also very versatile. You can omit any vegetable you dislike and add any you do like. Just consider the cooking time needed for any added vegetable. Also if the vegetables are too crunchy for your taste just steam them a little longer.
Be sure to add some protein to this meal. I like a little baked tempeh with mine. But some beans would be fine."

1 serving is 1 cup. Yummy and simple, in preparation and in flavor.

This is one of my family's very favorite dinners. One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to adjust to your own tastes. I entered it in with my true ingredients, which are SPICY! If you don't like it super spicy, adjust your ratio of Sweet Thai chili sauce (found in the grocery store asian food section) and the spicy Sambal Oelek (found in the same section). Try 1/4 cup of sambal oelek and 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce. Also very good with skinless chicken thighs, trimmed. I just ordered PB2 and am looking forward to trying it with this recipe, to cut the fat back even further!
