This oven baked 4-ingredient chicken cacciatore casserole is the kind of recipe you’d expect to find in a well-loved, splattered recipe box from the early 1960s. It uses just a few pantry staples, bakes up in a simple glass dish, and fills the house with that cozy, tomato-and-herb aroma that makes everyone wander into the kitchen asking when dinner is ready. The idea is very much in the spirit of those mid-century “keeper” casseroles: minimal fuss, family-friendly, and hearty enough to feed a hungry crowd on a busy weeknight.
Found this in my grandmother’s recipe box dated 1962. She circled it three times and wrote ‘keeper’ in the margin.
