Description
Chicken Scarpariello is a flavorful Italian dish featuring tender chicken thighs and Italian sausage, cooked in a savory sauce with herbs and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs, skin-on
- 1 pound Italian sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet, skin-side down. Brown the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the Italian sausage pieces and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside with the chicken.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
- Add the chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, rosemary, thyme, and the browned chicken and sausage back into the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
- Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Uncover and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add more red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño during the onion sauté.
- Substitute the chicken thighs with boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a leaner option, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
