We had a Chicken Scarpariello dish at Rao's Las Vegas that we loved, so I searched the internet for a recipe. This country style version is perfect for us -- love it! I do not add the thickening at the end, and I'm quite generous with the cherry peppers (love the heat!). I also use hot sausage and a sauvignon blanc or Chenin blanc for the wine. I serve with a side of green peas, and we usually start out with a small Caesar salad. Great recipe!

First I would like to say that my fiance took the initiative to make this recipe. This came out so delicious I can't express in words. The picture is leftovers because I didn't stop myself in time to take a picture of the freshly made meal. Although, he did alter a bit by not adding mushrooms and maybe another ingredient but all in all it was the recipe exact. Happy cooking and eating :-)

<p>I recently celebrated my 19th anniversary living in SW Florida. I moved here from Massachusetts, just north of Boston. As much as I miss family back home, I truly love living here - the beaches, the tropical beauty, the people, and the weather (except the hurricanes!). Everyday is just another day in Paradise. I work at the new international airport here in Fort Myers. I have an opportunity to meet many different and interesting people from around the world. I've had an interest in cooking since I was a little boy, following my grandmother around the kitchen. Since I wasn't blessed with any artistic or musical talent, I think cooking was my way of being creative. My passion is my family and friends. My second passion is cooking for them. My favorite way to entertain is informally...brunches, cookouts, and small dinner parties. Just relaxing, enjoying each other's company, some good food and drink, and a little fun are the only rules of the house.</p>
