"In Italian the Recipe is called "Pollo in Padella con Salsa ai Peperoni" This is simple to prepare yet tastes as if you slaved in the kitchen all day. The flavor combination is marvelous!"

Sorry, we thought this was really bland. It's a great start...it just doesn't quite get there. I'll probably be tweaking it to see if I can add enough complexity to make it more interesting...but then it will be a different recipe!

I enjoyed the mild sweet tasting pepper cream sauce. I added a little sharp provolone cheese to the chicken before pouring the sauce over it.

Made for dinner this past Friday when I was craving red pepper sauce. As written this produces a very mild flavored sauce. I added a few tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese to this sauce as well as some minced garlic and cayenne pepper. 15 year old DSS ate a big plateful and enjoyed it. I think this would be great with shrimp in the future.

Fabulous, thanks! I made it for dinner tonight and it got rave reviews from all. I substituted the white wine for chicken broth to make it kid-friendly. Then I reserved some sauce, added grated cheddar and poured it over cauliflower which I served with it. Delicious, thanks for posting!

I made this last night..I found it very mild tasting..my husband thought it was fine..I won't be making it again as I think I appreciate a more defined taste in food...I guess I can say something with more spices and pazzaz. Steve was exceptionally helpful when I asked a question...
