Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a heavy cast iron saucepan or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear 4-5 chicken thighs and 2-3 links of Italian sausage until they develop a golden-brown crust, approximately 5-7 minutes per side.
- In the same pot, add sliced sweet onions and bell peppers to the remaining juices. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in 1 cup of white wine and ¼ cup of red wine vinegar, using a wooden spoon to scrape up the flavorful browned bits at the bottom of the pot. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Return the browned chicken and sausage to the pot. Add 1 cup of chicken stock, ensuring the meat is mostly submerged. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot with a lid.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). After the initial stovetop simmer, place the covered pot in the oven and braise for about 30-35 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, check the doneness of the chicken thighs with an instant-read thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Ladle the Chicken Scarpariello onto plates, including both meat and sauce. Enjoy with crusty bread or creamy mashed potatoes.
