Chicken Roman-Style with Peppers

Chicken Roman Style with Red and Yellow Peppers
Chicken Roman Style with Red and Yellow Peppers

I’m hosting an informal Easter dinner next Sunday. Some of the friends at the table will be with me in Rome and Naples in a few weeks so I’m serving dishes from those 2 cities.

We’ll start with a savory deep-dish pie, Pizza Rustica filled with ricotta, mozzarella and salumi and a deep-dish ricotta with candied citrus peel pie, Pastiera Napoletana, will be the sweet ending to our meal.

Chicken Roman-Style with red and yellow peppers in a sweet tomato sauce with prosciutto bits will be the piatto secondo, the main course.

Pollo alla Romana con i peperoni is a simple recipe that is ready in about 30 minutes. I used boneless, skinless chicken breast but you can use any chicken parts that please you. If you have more cook time, bone-in pieces will add even more flavor to the dish.

The cooking method used here, insaporire, to develop flavor, is a classic Italian technique. Cook the chicken and peppers separately to develop their full flavors. Then combine them together at the end so that the ingredients absorb flavor from each other and the dish develops distinctive, yet complex flavors.

The chicken is infused with the soft sweetness of the peppers, the salty prosciutto and chunky San Marzano tomato sauce. A perfect flavor balance.

Serve some polenta or rice on the side to absorb the sauce and you have lunch or dinner on one plate.

Watch me making the Neapolitan savory and sweet Easter Pies. Make them for your spring celebration.

Buon appetito!

  • Made this for the family meal on Mother’s Day and the taste was fantastic. One question I have is I doubled the recipient and it came out more liquid than what you show. I didn’t modify the cook time so I wonder if I needed more time to reduce the liquid although I was afraid of overdoing it if I left it in the pan much longer. No matter what this one is a keeper. Thanks Gianni!

    • Ciao Jeff. Two suggestions to reduce the liquid when you double the recipe: add less tomato or cook longer at high heat to thicken the sauce. You only need tomatoes to cover the chicken and peppers. That might not be double the recipe. Or, reduce the sauce over medium-high heat. If you’re worried about overcooking the chicken and peppers take them out and just reduce the sauce to the desired consistency.

      Buon appetito!
