Chicken Scarpariello

From Food & Wine

To make her Sunday-supper scarpariello -- chicken sauteed in a tangy lemon glaze with bell pepper -- Fran Parisi always uses a whole chicken cut into pieces, then cooks it on the stove for hours. Grace Parisi opts for faster-cooking boneless thighs and skips the bell pepper in favor of jarred Peppadews, sweet-spicy pickled peppers from South Africa, sold in many US supermarkets.

Sweet & Sour Sicilian Braised Chicken

From Fine Cooking Magazine

In Sicily, this dish would be served with a vegetable like artichokes or sauteed greens, probably after a simple pasta. For a one-course meal, I like serving the chicken with plain couscous, which is not at all traditional (in Sicily, couscous is usually only served with a fish stew).

Gerald Hirigoyen named his restaurant after piperade, a Basque vegetable stew that combines tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions; here he uses a piperade puree to braise chicken.
