Instructions

  • Chop the garlic, slice the onion and bell peppers. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch chunks. Chop the basil and measure the wine (or broth).
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into crumbles. Once cooked through, transfer to a plate.
  • Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden on the bottom. Flip, add the garlic, and cook until the other side is golden.
  • Transfer chicken to a cutting board and cut into bite-sized chunks.
  • Return chicken and sausage to the skillet. Pour in about 1/4 of the wine (or broth) and cook until most of it evaporates. Transfer the meat mixture to a plate.
  • Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add potatoes and cook until tender inside and lightly crisp outside, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the peppers and onions to the potatoes and cook them for 5 minutes.
  • Return chicken and sausage to the skillet. Stir in the remaining wine (or broth), reduce heat to low, and simmer 15 minutes.
  • Turn the heat off, remove the bay leaf - stir in the fresh basil and serve.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for three to four days.
TIPS:
    • To save some time, parboil the potato chunks for a few minutes before adding them to the skille,t which will reduce cooking time.
    • To save more time, cook the potatoes in a separate skillet while you are cooking the meat.
    • The chicken breasts can be left whole and served with potatoes, peppers and sausage on to instead of bite-szed pieces.
You can also make this recipe with bone-in chicken, but you will need to increase the cooking time by approximately 20 to 30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees f.
