Pollo ai peperoni

Chicken with peppers and potatoes is a flavorful summer dish that the entire family can enjoy: with its sweet flavor, it’s like a taste of summer at every bite. The main ingredients are red peppers, cherry tomatoes, potatoes, black (Greek style) olives, and of course, chicken. In this recipe we have used plant-based chicken breast fillets. Everything is cooked together in a casserole pot until tender, with a handful fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and oregano.

It’s so good that you’ll need to prepare a few slices of bread on the side to do a scarpetta like a real Italian!

Take off the lid, lay the chicken fillets on top of the vegetables, then adjust the seasoning with a little salt, fresh rosemary, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Cover again with a lid and cook for another 10 minutes, until the chicken is well cooked. Serve hot. Enjoy!

Notes

If using dried herbs, halve the quantity. If using real chicken, cook it separately in a little butter for 5 minutes, and then transfer it to the skillet to finish cooking.
