Simmer approximately 30 minutes, with cover on pan.
Uncover and continue cooking until sauce is reduced to desired consistency. Be certain chicken is thoroughly cooked (I usually cook for at least 1 hour--sometimes longer.)
Chicken cacciatore usually tastes even better the second day. Tastes especially good served over rice.
I usually serve the Chicken Cacciatore over cooked Minute Rice. When cooking Minute rice, instead of the required amount of water, use the cacciatore sauce. (Consult your rice box for nutritional information for rice; not included in nutritional information for this recipe.)
Option: you can substitute 6 chicken breasts for the thighs; however, this may affect the nutritional information.
