A lighter take on Chicken Scarpariello that”s not just delicious, it also happens to be gluten-free, low-carb, whole30 compliant and paleo-friendly.
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
2 large chicken breast halves, bone in, skin removed
kosher salt and pepper to taste
1 link cooked sweet Italian chicken sausage, sliced thinly on a bias (I used Aidells)
1/2 medium head of cauliflower, cut into florets (about 4 cups)
1 medium onion, sliced thinly
4 cloves of garlic, sliced thinly
4 jarred hot cherry peppers, sliced plus 1 tbsp liquid (optional for extra heat)
1/3 cup dry white wine, omit for whole30, paleo and replace with chicken stock
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken stock
1 sprig rosemary, needles removed and roughly chopped, plus additional for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
Cut chicken in half to make 4 pieces, leaving the bone on.
Heat oil in a large, oven safe sauté pan with straight sides over medium-high heat.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper and brown 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove chicken and set aside.
Lower heat to medium and add onion, chicken sausage, cauliflower florets, garlic and cherry peppers.
Sauté, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until vegetables and sausage start to brown.
Add the white wine, cherry peppers and additional optional liquid.
Raise heat and allow to boil for about 2 minutes before adding chicken stock.
Add chicken breasts back into pan, bone side down, sprinkle rosemary on top, bring to a boil and then place the pan in the oven, uncovered.
Cook for 20-25 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F.
Remove from oven carefully, with towel or kitchen gloves, serve and enjoy!
