The chicken with peppers is a rustic and tasty main dish, you will have moist and creamy chicken with a perfect blend of peppers and all their sweetness. An easy dish to prepare, I chose to use thighs and drumsticks because they have more meat and they are not as dry as the breast, this is a free-range chicken from a Puglian farm, but you can use the pieces you prefer, even for the peppers, choose the ones you like….As a variation to the classic Roman recipe, I added olives, which don’t go amiss at all; rather, if you like them, I recommend them. So now, you just have to try!!

- 1 clove garlic
- 0.85 cup tomato puree
- oil
- 1 tsp vegetable stock cube

Steps
Start by washing and cutting the peppers into not too small pieces.
In the pan, add enough oil to cover the bottom and the garlic clove, turn the heat to moderate and sauté for a few minutes.
Then add the chicken and chili pepper.
Over moderate heat, brown it well on both sides for about 10 minutes, then raise the heat and deglaze with wine.
After about two minutes, lower the heat and add the peppers, tomato puree, stock cube, olives, and a bit of salt.
Cover and cook for about 30 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through cooking and adding a bit of water if needed (mine was quite soft, so I didn’t add any). At the end of cooking, taste and adjust salt if necessary.
Your chicken with peppers is ready!!
Storage
You can store the chicken with peppers for up to 2 days.
Variation
If you don’t like garlic, you can replace it with onion, or if you prefer, you can make the same recipe with turkey drumsticks.
