My family loved this. For those that are saying you left out the cauliflower because you don't like it, you are missing out. I have a kid that HATES cauliflower, but she ate tons of this and said how good it was. THEN I told her what was in it. :-) The chicken cacciatore part of the recipe is fabulous. Making it again tonight.

Yummy! I did not use the cauliflower, but other than that, I followed the recipe. It was delicious and made great leftovers.

great, easy recipe. never had chicken cacciatore before, so i don't have anything to compare it to, but i really enjoyed this meal. It was a hit with my husband too. The veggies mixed in with the potato medley is really good.

Amazing recipe! For twenty years my husband has hated peppers in anything, I made this and he said he LOVED it! (I just used the yellow peppers.) The potato's were incredible as well. I will definitely make this again!

Made this recipe tonight and was a bit dissappointed. Did I do something wrong? I read the reviews and thought this was going to be some excellent recipe. Seemed a bit bland to me. Both my husband and I normally don't add salt to our food, but we did. Even my 1 year old who normally eats everything only ate the chicken. It was "ok". Wasn't the worst I've had - but certainly not a knock-out recipe.

I would definitely make this again. Even my picky son liked it.
