Chicken Cacciatore

Man, oh man. I've had a hard time cooking lately. Let's just say that pregnancy and meal-planning do not go hand-in-hand. In fact, I don't want to think about food--at all. So, needless to say, everyone's been fending for themselves around here lately. Finally, last week I had had enough of cold cereal and frozen food and decided to brave the nauseating world of making dinner. It was rough, but totally worth it. I missed real food. Real food is good--real good. But since I didn't want to think to hard about it, I relied on some old stand-byes:
Zucchini-Feta Casserole & Fresh Corn on the Cob--the perfect summer meal (just missing some fresh garden tomatoes)
Grilled Veggies & Sausage with Rice
Pad Thai w/ Crispy Tofu
Cuban Black Beans w/ Sweet Potatoes--except this time, I used diced carrots and zucchini instead of sweet potatoes, just as good...
Southwestern Tabbouleh Salad w/ Grilled Chicken
And tonight, I decided on something I haven't made in a long time--Chicken Cacciatore. I'm so glad I pulled out this old recipe (I have a couple, but this one has the most veggies). It was easy, one-pan, and fabulous-o!
