Chicken Scarpariello with Sausage

Always on the hunt for easy, flavorful weeknight meals, this Chicken Scarpariello with Sausage and Peppers had an incredible depth of flavor and received rave reviews from my family.

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 an 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!

• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
• 1 pound mild Italian sausage links, sliced

Instructions

1. Generously season the chicken breasts with kosher salt. Heat 2-3 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan and brown the chicken over medium-high heat. Remove to a platter.
