Chicken Divan Barefoot Contessa

The ingredients in the chicken divan can be altered depending on what you have available. I think using chicken would be much less expensive than using chicken breasts and thighs. This is a good choice if you are trying to make this a more lower-cost recipe or it's one of the days when you are out of time (and money) to cook. You can make up your own measurements or use their suggested measurements as a guide. You can also leave out any ingredients you want to cut costs. They do include a fair amount of salt in their recipe.

I have been working with barefoot contessa for the past few years. I love their recipes and food. They are all-natural and healthy, which is why I love them so much. This recipe is a great way to make your chicken dinner at home look fancy and delicious, without spending too much money. This recipe is not only healthy but also very easy to make.

Just the name "Chicken Cacciatore" conjures up so many images in my head. Red checked tableclothes. Candles flickering in those red glass candle holders with the plastic netting on the outside. Wallpaper murals of Italian coastlines. It's all very Italian-American family style restaurant. It's one of those retro style dishes, like swiss steak or chicken divan, that seems like it would be fun and ironic to make but when you do it's bland and slightly disappointing. I sort of feel like chicken cacciatore falls into this category. It doesn't exactly feel like a classic Italian standard and it certainly doesn't feel fresh and modern.

Cooked rice and pasta are the most popular side dishes to serve with chicken divan and they are easy to prepare. In the case of pasta, you can boil any kind you like, but I particularly love spaghetti.
