Chicken with peppers is a simple second course to prepare with few ingredients: only two, let’s say main ones, of course, then you need to add the various seasonings according to your habits and your recipe. Chicken with peppers is now widespread throughout Italy, although its origins are from Lazio. Typical dish of the Roman countryside, it is usually prepared for the August 15th celebration, but any day of the year is always good to cook and offer to friends, brightening the table with its colors. Today I wanted to experiment with my lighter and faster chicken with peppers. I really liked the idea of using the pressure cooker to speed up the cooking times and use less fat. So I changed my recipe, now I will tell you how.

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
