Chicken Alla Romana image

This is a tasty, easy chicken main dish that you can improvise with in lots of directions. Chicken thighs have more deep chicken flavor, so I used them, but breasts would work. Bone in or out works. Onions or no onions (my preference) works. Whatever color peppers you'd like to use works. Have fun!

Time 45m

Yield 1 piece, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1 red bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
6 ounces prosciutto, small cubes
4 mushrooms, large
5 garlic whole cloves, not crushed
28 ounces diced tomatoes
1 cup white wine (I used Pinot Grigio)
1 cup chicken broth
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
2 tablespoons capers, drained if in liquid, washed if packaged in salt

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with the salt and pepper.
  • In a heavy large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • When the skillet is hot, brown the chicken on both sides.
  • When done, remove chicken and set aside.
  • In the same warm skillet add peppers, prosciutto, mushroom slices and olives, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic cloves and scrape off the browned bits of chicken off the bottom of the skillet.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, wine, broth and herbs, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • If serving immediately, add the capers and stir to combine.
  • If making ahead, transfer chicken and sauce to storage, cool, and refrigerate. Reheat to a simmer, stir in the capers and serve.

This dish was a disaster! The chicken was burnt and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.

The chicken was not cooked all the way through. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a longer amount of time next time.

This dish was very bland. I would recommend adding more spices and herbs to the sauce.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still good. I would recommend using less salt next time.
