Chicken with Red Peppers and Tomatoes

Recipe Description

Chicken dinner is always a crowd-pleaser, and if you need a new dinner idea, this Chicken with Red Peppers and Tomatoes is a super flavorful and utterly delicious option. A combo of juicy chicken and roasted bell peppers smothered in a savory tomato sauce. You can serve this with a chunk of crusty bread to mop up all the juices or over steamed white rice. You can’t go wrong either way.

This classic Roman stew involves just a few ingredients: olive oil, pancetta, chicken, white wine, tomatoes, garlic, bell peppers, and rosemary. It requires a bit of time, as the peppers must be roasted separately in the oven, then peeled, and added to the stew at the end. But the end result always gets rave reviews. Enjoy!
