ROMAN-STYLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• 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.

ROMAN CHICKEN RECIPE (POLLO ALLA ROMANA)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225°C (435°F).
• Place the bell peppers on an ovenproof tray and rub them with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
• Place the tray in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the skin starts turning dark.
• Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, remove the skin, membrane and seeds and cut them lengthwise, 1/2 inch wide. Set aside.
• While the peppers are in the oven though, you can proceed with the rest of the steps.
• Season the chopped chicken with salt and pepper --- generously.
• Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
• Once the oil is ready, start browning the chicken. Do this in batches to leave enough space between the pieces of chicken.
• Take the browned chicken out of the pan and set them aside.
• Once you have finished with the chicken, adjust heat to medium. Add garlic and onion.
• Cook until the onion has softened a bit, then add prosciutto and mix.
• Add the chicken back into the pan.
• Add salt, pepper, peperoncino, tomato paste, and tomatoes. Mix to combine.
• Add torn basil leaves and mix.
• Adjust the heat back into medium-high and cover the pan with a lid.
• Bring to a boil. Adjust the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked.
• Take the pan out of the heat and add the chopped, roasted peppers.
• Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and mix to combine.
• Serve your roman chicken, and add more fresh basil, if preferred.

ROMAN-STYLE GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Line a rimmed sheet pan with plastic wrap.
• Place milk and salt in a saucepan. Bring almost to a simmer over medium-high heat. As soon as bubbles start to break the surface of the milk, gradually whisk in the semolina. Whisk until semolina becomes thick, about 20 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-low; continue stirring with a wooden spoon until very thick, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add butter, grated cheese, and egg yolks. Stir quickly to prevent the yolks from cooking.
• Transfer mixture to prepared pan and spread out evenly. Cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm enough to cut, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Brush a round, shallow baking dish with butter.
• Using a round 2 3/4-inch cookie cutter, cut out circles of the semolina dough. Arrange in a circular overlapping pattern in the prepared baking dish.
• With your damp hands, form the scraps of dough into a small ball. Flatten and place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap to flatten to the same thickness of the other dough. Cut out a few more rounds and arrange in center of circle.
• Drizzle melted butter over gnocchi and brush it over them evenly. Sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne pepper and a generous dusting of grated cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
