“Capers, black and green olives, pepperoni, white wine ...Such savory, scrumptious Mediterranean flavors divine! This is my version of Chicken Cacciatore. Great for a dinner party, plus you can omit or add any ingredient to make it especially yours!” - by JoAnn M. Jarrach

In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste and brown chicken in hot oil. Remove chicken from skillet. Set aside.
In same skillet saute onions and mushrooms until translucent. Return chicken to skillet and add the tomatoes, soup and wine. When liquids start to simmer add the green olives, black olives, capers and pepperoni. Cover skillet and let simmer for 30 minutes.

"This was pretty good my husband really liked it. I did do a few things differently. I used boneless chicken and cut way down on the olive oil. I only had green olives on hand and used them but person..." See moreally I would skip them and add more mushrooms. I also cut way down on the pepperoni to reduce the fat in the dish but still get the taste. I did add some fresh garlic and omitted the oven step since I used boneless chicken.I served it over pasta. I have to say it was different."

"I really like this recipe. This recipe makes me think of puttanesca because of the olives and capers with a tomoto base. I decided to give it a little more of a puttanesca orientation by adding so..." See moreme anchovies. I only put in a few. They break down and disappear into the sauce but their flavor is there and it compliments this recipe. Using turkey preperoni decreases the fat and does not impact the flavor much (if any). This recipe needs a heavier red wine. I don't understand white wines in recipes like this. "
