How to prepare Roman-style Chicken with Peppers

To prepare Roman-style chicken with peppers, first wash the peppers. Cut them in half 1 and remove the seeds and inner filaments. Slice the peppers 2 and then cut them into pieces 3.

Collect the yellow and red peppers in a bowl 4. Dice the tomatoes 5. Now, take care of the chicken; you will need to cut it into pieces. If you are not very skilled, we recommend buying it already cut. Using a sharp knife, first separate the thighs 6.

From these, cut drumsticks and thighs 7. Now also separate the wings 8 and the breast 9.

Halve the breasts if they are too large 10. Once you have cut the chicken into pieces, salt it well 11 and proceed with cooking. In a large pan, pour the oil and 2 cloves of garlic 12.

Then add the chicken pieces and, when they are well browned, turn them 13 and remove the garlic. Let them brown on the other side and deglaze with white wine 14. Once completely evaporated, add the tomatoes 15.

Also add the peppers 16, salt, pepper 17 and cover with a lid 18.

Let it cook for 40 minutes, then remove the lid 19. Increase the heat to reduce the gravy if needed 20 and serve 21.
