Chicken Scarpariello with Sausage
Chicken Scarpariello with Sausage
After decades of marriage, I know what I can get away with when it comes to experimental meals and the picky hubby. I spotted a gorgeous Chicken Scarpariello with Sausage on a friend’s blog, Food Lust People Love. No obviously “offensive” ingredients listed, like mushrooms, fennel, etc. Just layers of delicious flavors from the white wine, sausage, and herbs. I
used bone-in, skin on chicken breasts instead of a combo of dark and light meat and substituted piquillo peppers for her peppadews. This Italian-American dish showed promise.
Italian Chicken Dinner
With a depth of flavor from the sausage, wine, vinegar and herbs, this Chicken Scarpariello with Sausage turned out to be a over the top entree. Simple to make, yet a complex experience for the taste buds. I happened to have a jar of piquillo peppers in my pantry, thanks I’m sure to Dorie Greenspan exposing me to these thin, sweet Spanish peppers.
Ordinary red bell peppers can be substituted if desired when making this Italian chicken recipe. Since I had all the ingredients except rosemary on hand, this Chicken Scarpariello was perfect for a memorable weeknight meal!

Easy to prepare, delicious real food is the BEST! This one fits the bill, Liz.
I’ve not heard of this before, sounds like a great family meal.
What a winning meal, easy and the picky hubby liked it! I have yet to find piquillo peppers so I may have to substitute roasted red peppers which I always have in my freezer. It’s a perfect weeknight meal.
Makes some mighty tasty leftovers too, I’m sure:@)
Oh my this looks delicious! The addition of the Italian sausage makes it so special.
This is a great dish. Mine is a bit different than yours and reminds me that I should make it again soon. It is quite popular having both chicken and sausage!
