EXCELLENT! Used more peppers (a variety of colors), onions and garlic than called for. Also added in some crushed pepper flakes for a little kick. While it was simmering, I noticed it was a little thick, so I just added in a little water and that made it the perfect consistancy. I could'nt find the 'Italian-style crushed tomatoes', so I just used crushed tomatoes w/ basil. I used less Italian seasoning and no dried basil (personal preference). This smelled amazing while it was cooking and made for an easy and delicious dinner. Will def be using this recipe again and again! Thanks for sharing. :)

This was excellent! All I did was add more tomatoes and use red peppers instead of green. I loved it, thanks for sharing!

Really good! I made it according to the recipe except added two cloves of garlic. Next time I'll add some wine and a little sugar and maybe some additional green pepper.

I appreciate how easy this recipe is and if you wanted, you could really jazz it up with more veggies, spices, ect., but I believe in rating the recipe "as is" and as is, it gets a high 3!

Excellent!! I browned the chicken and then I removed it, sauted the onion & peppers first then added the mushrooms for a couple of minutes. Next I added the crushed tomatoes and simmered. I added the chicken while cooking the pasta so it wouldn't be over cooked. I only used a couple of shakes of Italian seasoning.

Scarlett's Chicken Cacciatore Haiku: "Simple to prepare. I thought this was just okay, but husband loved it." I followed the recipe to the letter, (although I served over penne as I didn't have egg noodles), and I just didn't like how the sauce slid off the pasta and didn't provide any tasty "coat." But my husband adored it, and I did appreciate its simplicity, but I think if I make it again, I'll add some tomato paste or something to thicken it up.

this is very good! However, I did follow another reviewers recommendation and floured the chicken before browning, added a 14 1/2 oz can of diced tomatoes in addition to the 28 oz crushed tomatoes, used red pepper instead of green, used 4 cloves of garlic and sauteed sliced mushrooms, and diced zucchini. When I turned it down to simmer, I added 1/4 dry red wine, a packet of Splenda and a pinch of red pepper flakes. THAT made it 5 star awesome!!! Without these changes, i feel that it would have just been OK.

Oh yeah this is really good. I was looking for something easy for dinner and found this. I did have to change it a bit. Hubby hates mushrooms (yes feel sorry for me) so I had to leave them out. I added extra garlic and seasonings and used spaghetti for the pasta since that is what I had on hand. Will make this again.

Yummy, yummy, yummy! Easy and quick to prepare. I bumped up the garlic to 3 cloves and increased the Italian seasoning and basil. Over whole wheat pasta, this was flavorful and filling.
