What to Serve with Chicken Cacciatore

To enjoy a complete Italian meal, serve any of these great recipes the next time you are having chicken cacciatore for dinner. This savory dish with tender chicken, herbs, peppers, onions, and a seasoned tomato sauce is a classic Italian meal.

For contorni that should be served with cacciatore, whip up one of my favorite recipes. I am sharing soups, salads, vegetables, and starch ideas that you can make at home. These are quick and easy recipes that are family favorites.

These are some of the best Italian side dish ideas - plus a few desserts too. There are also recipes from other parts of the world that pair just as well with the tender chicken, rich tomato sauce, and vegetables. Cacciatore, "hunter-style" can be made with chicken or rabbit and both proteins can be served with all the recipes shared here.

Pasta Recipes

Here are some great pasta dishes that are great to make when serving chicken cacciatore. Whether you put them on the side or top the pasta with the rich tomato sauce that cacciatore stews in, you cannot go wrong with these recipes.

When serving cacciatore over pasta, the traditional choices are spaghetti, linguini, egg noodles, or angel hair. For something gluten-free or not pasta, I love serving chicken cacciatore over polenta, rice, cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, kohlrabi noodles, spaghetti squash, or mashed potatoes.

Appetizer & Soup Recipes

Start off your Italian cacciatore meal with a great first course. These small bites and soups are what are great to serve before digging into the main course.

Salad & Vegetable Recipes

Roasted, steamed, or air-fried vegetables all are a great side. These healthy veggies go well with Italian-style chicken. These include gluten-free, low-carb, keto, & paleo-approved recipes.

Starches to Serve with Chicken Cacciatore

If you want to make a starch to serve with chicken cacciatore that is not pasta, here are the best recipes. I eat gluten-free for the most part so I don't eat mine with spaghetti or any other wheat noodle. But here are some great starches that go well with cacciatore. These potato, baked goods, and grain recipes are all easy to make and tasty.

Desserts & Drinks

Finish off your meal with a lovely dessert or drink. No need to rush through the meal, enjoy every course and something sweet to finish.
