What is chicken scarpariello

Key ingredients
Peppadew peppers add sweetness and mild tang, but hot cherry peppers or pepperoncini work too for spicier versions.
How to cook
Roast fingerling potatoes separately to keep them crisp, then sear chicken thighs and sausage in a skillet with onions, garlic, and rosemary.
Sauce preparation
Simmer white wine, chicken broth, pickled peppers, vinegar, and rosemary until reduced, then nestle chicken into the sauce.
Serving
Serve the scarpariello straight from the skillet with roasted potatoes for a hearty dinner that lands between weeknight comfort food and Sunday supper.
