Marcella Hazan's chicken recipes

I have made many things from her great books but not much in the poultry section. The only chicken recipe I have made is the roast chicken with lemon. Any other standouts? I was thinking of the cacciatore ( there are two versions in her book). Does anyone have preferences among the two recipes? thanks!

    I like them both. As you would imagine, the "new" version is simpler both in execution and flavors, but is quite nice as a minimalist dish. If you haven't made cacciatore before, they're both a great way to begin thinking about improvising your own.

      I have also made the caccitarore new version and while simple it was very enjoyable.

        My favourite is her chicken with cherry tomatoes and olives from Marcella Cucina. It is superb.

          I like the chicken fillets stuffed with pork and rosemary.

          I've also substituted turkey cutlets for the chicken. I think the fat in the ground pork plus the flavors really lifted up the turkey.

            I always make the her classic cacciatore recipe, the one with carrots, celery,peppers, tomatoes. It is really a simple, good recipe, and great over spiral pasta or any other starch for that matter.

              I make this recipe, too. definitely my favorite cacciatore recipe. Hmmm...it's been a while. We were going to grill a chicken tonight but may have to do this instead.
