Ingredients
- 4 skinless chicken breast halves (with ribs)
- 2 skinless chicken thighs (with bones)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus 1 teaspoon)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (plus 1 teaspoon)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
- 1 yellow bell pepper (sliced)
- 3 ounces prosciutto (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
-
1 14-ounce can datterini tomatoes
- 1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves*
1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves*
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
-
*Chef’s Note: In place of fresh thyme and oregano, try substituting with 2 teaspoons of Giada’s Grill Tuscan Herb blend
Instructions
- Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a heavy, large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken until browned on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Keeping the same pan over medium heat, add the peppers and prosciutto and cook until the peppers have browned and the prosciutto is crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, wine, and herbs. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken to the pan, add the stock, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- If serving immediately, add the capers and the parsley. Stir to combine and serve. If making ahead of time, transfer the chicken and sauce to a storage container, cool, and refrigerate. The next day, reheat the chicken to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the capers and the parsley and serve.

Love this!! Works great for make ahead events
This is great. A real family favorite with roasted cipollini and potatoes
So glad you loved it! The capers really add that perfect briny flavor!
My dad loved this dish and so did I. I hadn’t tried capers until I made tried this recipe. They’re good. The chicken was so moist. üòç
