The can of Rotel wasn't quite as large as the recipe called for, so I added a bit of tomato paste for some extra flavor. Also, I used baby bella mushrooms instead of white mushrooms. Otherwise, I essentially followed the recipe -- shocking, I know! Well, actually I slightly reduced the amount of red pepper flakes. I didn't want the chicken to be too spicy to eat!
While the rotel made the dish a little bit spicy, I thought it gave the cacciatore a great flavor. It definitely wasn't bland. Thanks Peggy for picking a GREAT, hearty recipe that was easy to make on a weeknight. I really like it, as did the cats, so I will definitely be making this recipe again.
Yum! Rotel and baby bellas -- you are brilliant, my friend! I did not find this bland AT ALL. We loved it, and I will most definitely be making this again. Yours looks really great!
ReplyDeleteI think the Rotel was a good idea and still healthy! Don't get me wrong, I will definitely make this again, but next time I'll spice it up a little more. You NEED those sticky buns. Seriously. I'll send you the recipe. And cats do not eat chicken cacciatore - who are you trying to fool? :)
ReplyDeleteLooks good, I also made green beans with mine.

Ohhh I almost used Rotel. I debated it. Next time I will go for it!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of using Rotel! I wish I had. I bet that really amps up the flavor!
ReplyDeleteI used fire roasted ones and thought that it was a good substitute too!
