Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 links Italian sausage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 1 cup cherry peppers in vinegar, sliced
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove from skillet and set aside. Once cool, slice the sausage into small rounds.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the chicken pieces until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside with the sausage.
Lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic, sliced bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in the sliced cherry peppers along with 2 tablespoons of their pickling vinegar for added tang. Allow to sauté for another minute.
Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
Add the chicken stock, red wine vinegar, and chopped rosemary. Return the cooked chicken and sausage to the skillet, stirring to coat everything in the sauce.
Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then remove from heat.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot, optionally accompanied by crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
