This simple Roman-style recipe delivers one of the best bites of braised chicken you will ever enjoy. Tomatoes and bell peppers get a big flavor boost from capers and prosciutto, which creates a sauce that’s beyond flavorful. This chicken would be great on rice or pasta, but is especially awesome served over our olive oil mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

Perhaps I didn't watch close enough, but what happened to the bones? Dish does look good, though.
This is essentially chicken cacciatore with a few differences in preparation
Super nice video like
Holy moly that looks good!
Sorry you had some haters here that are all Roman’s didn’t have tomato…blah blah blah. Who cares. You always make delicious dishes and we’ve followed you since the beginning.
yum
This chicken dish looks easy and scrumptious. However, it must be a modern dish since I was taught the Romans had no aubergines, peppers, courgettes, green beans, or tomatoes, staples of modern Italian cooking. They are a new world product. What's more When Columbus brought new foods back to Italy, many people didn't trust them to not poison the diners. Tomatoes were suspected due to their membership in the Nightshade family. Even in the new world our grandparents blanched them and removed the skins which is where they believed the toxins were located. BTW, I believe that corn and potatoes are new world crops as well, so the Roman probably never tasted polenta, mashed potatoes or roasted ones either. Peppers are cousins of tomatoes as well.
I could see nothing but the heads of dead ghosts @ 0:52s LOL
👨🍳 John I’m 33 and have been here since the allrecipes days. You’re the best just want ya to know.
I took this opportunity to do whatever I wanted and substitute the tomato sauce for mushroom Alfredo and the peppers for spinach (someone in my house cannot eat the fruits of the solanacea family) so we'll see how this goes tomorrow. (Also they didn't have tomatoes and peppers in ancient Rome and the salt and anchovies are clearly a replacement for fish sauce but I'll ignore that)
This is Elon Musk's favourite meal
This was amazing. Made it last night and the results were unreal! This channel is a goldmine.
Cured pork between your thighs image will stay ingrained into my brain for the rest of the day, chef John 😂
Hey kids, of course Rome has tomatoes. Roma tomatoes!
CJ❤❤❤
Eh… I'll swap out the taters with a nice polenta…. But looks good.
Omg if I wasn’t scared about relapsing on alcohol … I would do this
it looks exactly like Chinese food especially with rice
Nice!
Tomato's and chicken thighs just seem to go together!
"We salute this magnificent dis–" uh let's keep it down Aemilius, people will be getting super weird with that in the future
You are simply the best on YouTube, Chef John!
Can this be made without the anchovy?
Fresh oregano and basil over the top would be much better than parsley. Parsley would work great if you did this with tuna or swordfish, though!
Surely a ‘Roma’ dish would be served with pasta?
Looks a lot like Ostropel ,a Romanian recipe basically fatty cuts of chicken in a fresh and juice tomato sauce with garlic and parsley
MY GOD …. the salt. My cardiologist would like to have a word with you about your receipe.
You are the Brutus of how you stab this Julius?
I'm sure this will taste fine, but it won't be pretty. Cold chicken into a stainless pan equals instant stick. Once the skin tears off you get naked, flesh colored chicken. Oops. Next time marinate at room temperature and make sure that pan is smoking hot. Better yet, just use non-stick, which I should have done. I knew better and tried it anyway.
I had to turn this video off due to your horrible up-speak. Seriously, listen to yourself talk – it's extremely annoying how your pitch changes at the same point in each sentence.
Romans would not of had bell peppers. So this is def Roman style and not Roman authentic.
WRONG! Tomatoes did not arrive in Europe until over a thousand years after the Romans were gone and extinct. 'Roman' recipes did NOT contain tomatoes. Yes, I am very interested in Roman recipes – which is this was so disappointing.
Just made this for Sunday dinner and it was incredible. Thanks Chef J.
I just ate a wonderful meal and was feeling so full I was thinking I would skip desert, then I watched this video and now I am hungry again. I'm about to run out of ice cream.
Chef John is always on top of things. I salute him being a decent human being that gives us great recipes.
Looks awesome, I'll make it this weekend.
i don't understand how this dish dish is Roman while featuring Central American tomatoes, South American potatoes, and South East Asian chicken.
Made this yesterday it was wonderful! One of the nicest tasting meals ever. I used the leftovers with pasta and it was amazing again! 🙏
Thank you. I'm always happy after visiting your channel and thinking about cooking with and for my friends. That's what food is about. Take it easy folks and make this space misery free…..not miserable for free. Lol.
I love chef John!!!!
Romans didn’t have tomatoes… correct. Ceasar didn’t invent the Ceasar salad either.
Nor do sprouts come from Brussels and black pudding isn’t a bloody pudding…
Funny how names work…
Roman Style?
The Potatoes and the Tomatoes and the Peppers where all Domesticated by the INCA in Central or South America 5,000 to 9,000 Year ago!
HOW is that Roman at all?
You're now sponsored and… nobody minds. In fact we all hope you make some nice cash Chef. You deserve it.
Wow yummy 😋🤤
