Easy Chicken Scarpariello: A No-Fuss, Flavorful Dinner
I just whipped up this Easy Chicken Scarpariello, and let me tell you, it’s such a lifesaver when you want something hearty without spending hours in the kitchen. It’s got all the good stuff—juicy chicken, and peppers—cooked together in one pan. The best part? It’s a little tangy from the vinegar and wine, but still cozy and savory. Plus, everything comes together super quickly, so it’s perfect for a busy weeknight. Definitely going to be a new favorite around here!

In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper, and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes.Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.Return the chicken to the skillet, then pour in the chicken broth and white vinegar. Bring the mixture to a simmer.Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.Once done, remove the lid and let the dish simmer for an additional 5 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.Serve the Chicken Scarpariello hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
