We ate “Pollo alla cacciatora” in Orvieto, Umbrien. Also called “Hunter’s Wives” Chicken, this Italien Food has lots of fresh tomatoes and herbs, and is very delicious. Enough for 4 people, you would eat it with Parpadelle pasta (or wide noodles)

If you ever been in Umbria or Tuscany, you probably seen this entree on the menu. When cooking this recipe, I prefer a Dutch oven, but any oven safe pot will do
Instructions
- Peel and chop the garlic. Work and pound lemon zest , rosemary and peppercorns in a mortar.
- Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and salt.
- Divide the chicken into 8 pieces and spread with the paste.
- Marinate for about one hour.
- Remove and scrape the marinade from the meat, then sauté the pieces in hot olive oil until golden brown.
- Add the marinade back on it. Pour in wine, broth and lemon juice. Stir in the tomato paste and bring to a boil.
- Bake in preheated oven at 170 ° C or 340 F (if possible convection) for approx. 40 minutes. Use an oven safe pot, like a Dutch Oven.
- Rinse the anchovies and finely chop them. Chop capers coarsely, olives also.
- Stir these ingredients into the sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes.
