CHICKEN GIAMBOTTA

Steps:

• Prepare the vegetables: slice the peppers and onions, cut the potatoes into chunks about one inch in size, and chop the garlic.
• Cook the sausage over medium heat in a skillet while it is cooking, break it into crumbles. (if the sausage is lean add a little bit of olive oil to the skillet to avoid sticking).
• Once the sausage has cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
• Add the boneless chicken breasts to the skillet and cook them until they become golden on the bottom. flip them over and add the garlic. Cook until the chicken becomes golden on the other side.
• Remove the chicken from the pan, cut it into chunks.
• Add the chicken and sausage back to the skillet and pour in 1/4 of the wine or broth and cook until most of the liquid evaporates. Remove the meat from the skillet and set it aside.
• Add one tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and cook the potatoes until they are soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside (about 15 to 20 minutes)
• Add the peppers and onions to the potatoes and cook them for 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken and sausage mixture back to the skillet with the potatoes and peppers, stir in the remaining wine or broth reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes longer.
• Turn the heat off, remove the bay leaf - stir in the fresh basil and serve.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper in small bowl to blend. Combine the vinaigrette and chicken pieces in a large resealable plastic bag; seal the bag and toss to coat. Refrigerate, turning the chicken pieces occasionally, for at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from the bag and arrange the chicken pieces on a large greased baking dish. Roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 1 hour. If your chicken browns too quickly, cover it with foil for the remaining cooking time. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Place the baking dish on a burner over medium-low heat. Whisk the chicken broth into the pan drippings, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the baking sheet with a wooden spoon and mixing them into the broth and pan drippings. Drizzle the pan drippings over the chicken. Sprinkle the lemon zest and parsley over the chicken, and serve.

Steps:

• In a cast iron skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil. Add onions and saute until translucent. Add all the remaining vegetables, season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Stir well and cover the pan. Let cook on a low flame for about 20 minutes, stirring often. Remove cover and continue to cook vegetables until tender and no cooking liquid remains in the skillet, about 15 minutes more. Adjust seasoning and serve hot, or cool down.

CHICKEN GIAMBOTTA RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Bake sausage in oven 500, until crisp and brown, then cut up in pieces. Saute chicken breasts in a bit of olive oil, covered with salt and pepper, add with smashed garlic cloves, until brown and crisp in pot. Remove when crispy. Garlic can get very brown, but remove with chicken so it doesn't burn totally. In same pot, with a bit more olive oil, saute peppers, and onions, then add wine, broth, a bit of the cherry pepper juice, hot red pepper flakes. Back into the pot, add sausage, a few cherry peppers, and chicken back into pot. Let simmer a bit. Meanwhile, I cut up potatoes with skin on, in chunks and bake in oven with some olive oil, salt and pepper until very crispy. Right before serving I put crisp potatoes in. Can be made ahead of time, and reheated.

GIAMBOTTA

Steps:

• Heat skillet over medium heat.
• Add oil and coat pan.
• Add garlic and cook until soft, but not brown.
• Drain liquid from tomatoes and reserve.
• Add tomatoes and oregano to pan and cook 20-30 minutes over moderate heat, stirring occasionally.
• While tomatoes are cooking parboil potatoes and beans separately (I've nuked potatoes in the micro and obtained satisfactory results- it's quicker than boiling).
• Drain cooked (al dente preferably) beans and add them to the tomato mixture.
• Cut potatoes into 1 inch cubes and add to sauce.
• Cook for another 5-10 minutes (if the mixture needs more moisture or you just prefer this dish saucier you can add some of the reserved liquid at this stage).
• Salt and pepper to taste.
