Chicken – Boneless Skinless Chicken breasts are used here. However , the hunter’s style stew can be made with bone in chicken. Its a Rustic stew . Use your favourite Chicken .

Peppers– Personally I like to to use Colours in this recipe. Yellow, Red and Green peppers are used here. Try to incorporate as much vitamins and minerals as you can and make a flavour packed meal.

Onions- Diced red / yellow onions work well with the recipe. I have just Diced a red Onion . Shallots work well too.

Italian Seasoning, salt , pepper– All dishes will taste amazingly well if the meat or chicken or fish are seasoned well. never shy away from seasoning.

Balsamic Vinegar- The balsamic vinegar adds a sweet tinge to the dish.

Tomatoes– I have used some ‘Spoon tomatoes’ and tomato puree for this recipe. The tang of the tomato is what makes this Dish flavour packed.
