For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking. If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large oven-safe pot with a tight-fitting lid. Serve Chicken Cacciatore over creamy polenta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred level of spiciness. For a richer sauce, use chicken stock instead of water or wine.
