Chestnuts are very common here so I collect different recipes. I don't know if these are like the dish you remember, but it might be a starting place....

Italian*

Yes, chicken would be a perfectly acceptable substitute for rabbit. The preparation would be identical.

These recipes aren't Italian, but they are more or less Mediterranean and sound delicious!

This one is not Italian, but it's remarkable. It's sort of Asian, but those are not water chestnuts. http://www.epicurious.com...

Maedl, those do look like good recipes.

Greenstuff, this recipe takes bottle chestnuts which (here) usually means sweetened. Can you find unsweetened in the States?

Oh yes, you can find unsweetened in the States--usually they are from France or Italy. I've also used fresh chestnuts. Don't use sweetened!
