Chicken Thigh Cacciatora-Style Sauce With Fresh Orecchiette
Often known as ‘hunter’s style stew’, this rich Italian dish is deliciously rustic. You’ll simmer chicken and red pepper in a rich tomato sauce before tossing in your pasta. Serve up with a grind of black pepper and Italian cheese.
You supply: butter, olive oil, pepper, salt, water. The figures below are for the dish cooked as instructed, so they count these rather than what arrives in the box.

Tell me when Chicken Thigh Cacciatora-Style Sauce With Fresh Orecchiette changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the brand publishes, and brands change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
