Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Start by gathering and chopping the bell peppers, mincing the garlic, and slicing the sausages.

  4. Introduce the garlic and peppers: Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, then add bell peppers and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
  5. Deglaze with vinegar: Pour in white wine vinegar, scraping up browned bits, and cook for about 2 minutes.
  6. Add broth and oregano: Pour in chicken broth, stir in oregano, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Return chicken to the pan: Nestle chicken thighs back into the skillet, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
  8. Final seasoning: Check chicken doneness at 165°F and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with parsley, and serve your Chicken Scarpariello!
