This simple Roman-style recipe delivers one of the best bites of braised chicken you will ever enjoy. Tomatoes and bell peppers get a big flavor boost from capers and prosciutto, which creates a sauce that’s beyond flavorful. This chicken would be great on rice or pasta, but is especially awesome served over our olive oil mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

  1. Sooooo tempting really appreciate your efforts great job well done thanks for sharing such a nice recipe 👍👍👍👍 Great job well done thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉

  2. For those who keep pointing out that Ancient Romans did not cultivate tomatoes:

    Parisians are people from (modern-day) Paris. Londoners are people from London. Pisans are people from Pisa. What might people from modern-day Rome be called?

  3. Nope, looks yummy, but I can't eat garlic, onion, peppers of any kind. I do make a version of this, but use potatoes, summer squash, carrots, tomatoes, green beans, bake it, then top with cheese. ( I cook the garlic, onion in oil, throw the onion, garlic away, then use the oil to brown the chicken)

  4. Why does the Aldi guy aggressively separate the lady in the purple sweater from the rest of the shoppers as they enter the store? It creeps me out. Stop doing that, Aldi.

  5. What to do with the rest of the anchovies? I'm not going to throw s bunch of fish out for this, but I feel like this wants the anchovy.

  6. I love that you are sponsored by Aldi. They are a stable here in Germany. Going there for Groceries since 40 years.

  7. Chef John always explains every steps meaning every time, like with deglazing. It is so appreciated that anyone who watches a video doesn't have to go watch another for a bit of info. I am letting my 5 year old watch his videos. Haha.

  8. This one looks stunning, obviously tastes amazing, but the vibrant red with all the different colored peppers is really nice to look at.

  9. Romans didn't have tomatoes. Tomatoes are an NORTH AMERICAN plant. They were not sent to Europe until after Columbus.

  10. This was really good. I forgot the wine to deglaze and I substituted the red bell peppers for some sliced carrots and celery. It turned out fantastic!

  11. Sorry you had some haters here that are all Roman’s didn’t have tomato…blah blah blah. Who cares. You always make delicious dishes and we’ve followed you since the beginning.

  12. This chicken dish looks easy and scrumptious. However, it must be a modern dish since I was taught the Romans had no aubergines, peppers, courgettes, green beans, or tomatoes, staples of modern Italian cooking. They are a new world product. What's more When Columbus brought new foods back to Italy, many people didn't trust them to not poison the diners. Tomatoes were suspected due to their membership in the Nightshade family. Even in the new world our grandparents blanched them and removed the skins which is where they believed the toxins were located. BTW, I believe that corn and potatoes are new world crops as well, so the Roman probably never tasted polenta, mashed potatoes or roasted ones either. Peppers are cousins of tomatoes as well.

  13. 👨‍🍳 John I’m 33 and have been here since the allrecipes days. You’re the best just want ya to know.
