Means “hunter style,” popular American version of chicken stewed with tomatoes and/or onions, garlic, anchovies, wine and vinegar.
The German jaeger (the j is pronounced like a y), the French chasseur, and the Italian cacciatore all mean hunter and are all applied to certain dishes, usually simple in nature, either made from wild game or prepared with mushrooms and herbs, the kind of ingredients available to a hungry hunter out in the wilderness. Two of these three words, chasseur and cacciatore, derive from the Latin capere, meaning to seize, and are closely related to several other English words that derive from the same source, including chase and capture. The German jaeger, on the other hand, derives from the German verb jagen, meaning to chase, which derives from the same source as yacht, originally a speedy ship used to chase other ships, often in order to plunder them.
