There are many different versions of scarpariello; some, like this one, call for sausages, making this dish a hearty mainstay in our household. The recipe calls for fully cooked italian-flavored chicken sausage but I often have a hard time finding this at my local grocery store, so I typically use italian-flavored turkey sausage. Just remember to cook it before adding it in. I found this recipe in a family circle cookbook.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs or 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, fat removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon dried italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12 ounces fully cooked italian-flavored chicken sausage
1 lb refrigerated potato, that have been precooked and diced
2 -3 sweet peppers, any colors you like, seeded and cut up
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup italian salad dressing
Directions:
1. in large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
2. season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper.
3. sauté chicken for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. cut sausages in 1/2-inch pieces.
5. add to skillet along with potatoes, sweet peppers and garlic.
6. stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
7. add italian dressing and stir to combine.
8. cover skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
9. remove skillet from heat and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
