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.
No Ordinary Chicken Dinner
With a depth of flavor from the sausage, wine, vinegar and herbs, this 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. Since I had all the ingredients except rosemary on hand, this Chicken Scarpariello was perfect for a memorable weeknight meal!

Chicken Scarpariello with Sausage
A fabulous, flavorful one pan entree that will tantalize your taste buds!
Ingredients
- 6 bone in chicken breasts
- Kosher salt to taste
- Olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1 pound mild Italian sausage links, sliced
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 jar piquillo peppers, drained ( 7.75 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary plus more to garnish if desired
Instructions
- 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.
- Brown the sausage, then remove to the platter with the chicken. Then lower the heat and add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the vinegar, wine, chicken stock, peppers, soy sauce and rosemary. Bring liquid to a boil, add the chicken, sausage and any accumulated juices back to the pan and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half and chicken is cooked. You may want to put the lid on to finish cooking if the chicken needs more cooking time.
- Serve chicken, sausage and peppers with a drizzle of sauce and garnish with rosemary.

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!
