Lots of flavors here but I thought that it was all a bit too muddled. I think losing the soup and also the sausage would help clean it up a bit.

Left out the cream soup and wine, and it was fabulous!

Skipped the pepperoni, served over wild steamed rice, incredible.

Very interesting....I was skeptical..but it turned out just fine with my modifications. I used b/s chicken breast and used my rolling pin to pound it out a bit. Dredged in flour fired in olive oil, removed from pan - sauteed onion *garlic and mushrooms. added all other ingredients, brought to a simmer then I added the chicken. Simmered with lid on for 20 then threw it in the oven at 350 for 20 more minutes. The chicken was falling apart! It was delish. Oh and I only used about an ounce of pepperoni because I was a tad scared of using it in anything other than a pizza dish!

This was so different from my usual Cacciatore recipe which is why I was so anxious to try it. I'm a huge caper and olive fan and thought they both went very well with this dish. I did, however, add my usual garlic and onion powders along with some Italian seasonings. Terrific dish Jo Ann and thank you!!

Thank you. I was casting about for ideas and realized all were in my fridge and pantry. I did not have pepperoni. Did no miss it This is truly a "classic recipe". Thanks again for the brain boost.

This is so good. I used chicken thighs instead of the whole chicken. Use a little salt and pepper on the chicken. Try your own season.

I really like this recipe. This recipe makes me think of puttanesca because of the olives and capers with a tomoto base. I decided to give it a little more of a puttanesca orientation by adding some anchovies. I only put in a few. They break down and disappear into the sauce but their flavor is there and it compliments this recipe. Using turkey preperoni decreases the fat and does not impact the flavor much (if any). This recipe needs a heavier red wine. I don't understand white wines in recipes like this.

I have a standing "Monday Night Chicken Night" to connect with friends and relax into the week. We enjoy each others company and talk politics, the world, and anything that is on our minds. This recipe is the most requested of all the recipes that I cook. It is kind of rich so I don't cook it as often as it's requested. So when I do cook it I have from 15 - 20 people show up for dinner on the presentation of this recipe. It makes for great conversations and cudos for the cook. I love this recipe.

Very flavorful... I too used boneless/skinless breast meat and omitted the pepperoni to reduce the fat. I also added more mushrooms and capers. My Husband raved about it... we love olives and mushrooms :)
