About this recipe

Rustic Chicken with Peppers is a dish that takes me back in time, to Sundays spent at my grandmother's house. She prepared it in a large terracotta pot over a wood fire, a scent that invaded the whole house and that still makes my mouth water today. Her version was a little different, simpler, but the taste was unmistakable. I tried to recreate that magic, adapting it to modern times and my faithful Thermomix®. The key to this dish lies in the quality of the ingredients. The chicken, of course, must be of excellent origin, preferably free-range, with crispy skin and firm meat. The peppers, then, are essential. I recommend using seasonal peppers, those that are nice and fleshy and colorful, perhaps a mix of yellow, red and green for a more lively result even to the eye. The peeled tomatoes, strictly Italian, must be of good quality, with an intense and slightly acidic flavor that balances the sweetness of the peppers. The extra virgin olive oil, finally, must be fruity and fragrant, a real condiment that enhances all the other flavors. For the preparation with the Thermomix®, it is important to carefully follow the steps. Searing the chicken in a pan is essential to seal in the juices and give the meat a more intense flavor. When deglazing with white wine, it is important not to put the measuring cup, to allow the alcohol to evaporate completely. During cooking in the Thermomix®, it is advisable to use the "Linkslauf" (left rotation) function to prevent the chicken from flaking too much. Also, it is important to check from time to time and mix gently with the spatula to prevent the bottom from sticking. For a vegetarian or vegan version, you can replace the chicken with pre-cooked chickpeas or with sliced champignon mushrooms. In this case, you can reduce the cooking time in the Thermomix®. As for the spices, you can add a pinch of chili pepper for a more lively touch, or a sprig of rosemary or a few sage leaves for a more Mediterranean aroma. Rustic Chicken with Peppers is a versatile dish that lends itself to different interpretations. It can be served with a steaming polenta, with basmati rice, with baked potatoes or simply with homemade bread to scoop up the sauce. For an extra touch, you can garnish with a few fresh basil leaves or a drizzle of raw extra virgin olive oil. If there are any leftovers, the Rustic Chicken with Peppers can be kept in the refrigerator for a couple of days. It can also be prepared in advance and reheated when serving. In fact, it is often even better the next day, when the flavors have blended together even more.
