Peperonata is Italian for stewed bell peppers which makes a great complement to poultry or even seafood dishes. There are probably tons of ways to stew peppers (with white wine, canned tomatoes, etc) but I like mine light and healthy with just fresh chicken stock and sufficient salt and pepper to taste. In this way, we could taste the natural sweetness of the peppers which is almost fruity-flavoured. I also made a simple fried brown rice with egg to go with the dish or you can just serve with steamed plain rice. Enjoy this Chicken with Peperonata Recipe! 🙂
