Hunter Style Chicken, Pollo All Cacciatora

I love when I find recipes that I have all the ingredients already in the house. Don't get me wrong I love grocery shopping! I have made this quite often. It is perfect to reheat when you get home from work.

The recipe in the La Cucina, The Regional Cooking of Italy cookbook.
Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup sliced onions
1 lb. carrots, sliced
1 celery stalk, sliced

3 1/2 lbs chicken, cut in pieces

1/2 cup dry white wine

1/2 lb, ripe plum tomatoes, peeled and chopped
(I used a can of diced tomatoes)
chicken broth, if necessary
salt and pepper
Method
Heat half of the olive oil in a large pan and add the onions, carrots and celery. When they have taken on color remove them and set them aside. Put pieces of chicken in pan with remaining olive oil and when pieces have colored add the white wine. When the wine has evaporated add the tomatoes and reserved vegetables. Continue cooking over low heat for about 40 minutes, adding a little broth if necessary. Adjust for salt and pepper.
