Description
Chicken Scarpariello is a delicious Italian-American dish featuring chicken and Italian sausage cooked in a flavorful sauce with herbs and spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 pound Italian sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 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, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
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 brown. 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 chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, white wine, and apple cider vinegar, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Return the chicken and sausage to the skillet. Add the rosemary and thyme. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid and simmer for an additional 10 minutes to reduce.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or more red pepper flakes.
- Serve over rice or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
