Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Scarpariello
  1. Season the chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Let them sit while heating up your skillet.
  2. In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and cover.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced Italian sausage. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until browned.
  4. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the sliced bell peppers and hot cherry peppers, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  6. Pour in 1 cup of dry white wine, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add chicken broth, cherry pepper vinegar, lemon juice, and oregano. Stir well and let flavors meld for about 2 minutes before adding chicken back in.
  8. Return chicken thighs to the skillet and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes until tender.
  9. Serve hot, spooning extra sauce and peppers over each piece.
