CHICKEN PEPPERONCINI RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Chicken Pepperoncini Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by lovemygolden

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/4 pound of chicken (breasts, legs, thighs)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoon oregano
3/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 green bell pepper, or 1/2 green and 1/2 red or yellow pepper- cut into strips or chunks
18-24 pepperoncini (an 11 1/2 ounce jar), drained, rinsed and left whole
1 lemon, cut in half

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450° degrees. Wash chicken and pat it dry. In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes together. Sprinkle half the mixture over the skin side of each piece. In a roasting pan or shallow casserole dish, add oil and place in oven to heat. Add the chicken pieces, skin side down. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the top of the pieces. Cook until the chicken pieces are golden (about 15 minutes). Turn chicken over and add green pepper and pepperoncini. Cook until chicken is done and green pepper strips are soft. (Chicken tastes better when it is very golden, be careful not to dry it out though.) Remove pan from oven and squeeze fresh lemon halves over chicken. Transfer chicken, peppers, and pepperoncini into large serving dish. Pour juice from pan over the top.

PEPPERONCINI CHICKEN



Pepperoncini Chicken image

I have to give my husband the credit for inventing this recipe. Our whole family makes this recipe regularly. We all love it. The more pepperocini's the spicier it gets...sometimes we brown it, sometimes not. This is so easy. If the pepperocini's get too brown on the bottom, they caramelize. Yummy!!

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness so they cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality pepperoncini. The pepperoncini is the star of this dish, so make sure you use a good quality one. Look for pepperoncini that are firm and have a bright green color.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. Medium heat is the best temperature for cooking the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Use a meat thermometer. The best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Chicken pepperoncini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of chicken, pepperoncini, and sauce is flavorful and satisfying. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
