Equipment

  • Large pan
  • Large bowl
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 russet potato 3/4 inch diced
  • 1 pound Italian sausage casing removed
  • 1 cup peppadew peppers cut in half
  • 1 green bell pepper seeded, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • 4 large cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 cupc chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup peppadew pepper brine
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 16 ounces cremini mushrooms quartered
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • salt
  • pepper
  • olive oil

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and Italian sausage to the pan and cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, onion, bell peppers, peppadews, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken cubes to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the white wine and use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth, potatoes, and peppadew brine to the pan. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cover with a lid. Simmer for 12 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Uncover and stir in the mushrooms and butter. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the liquid to a simmer.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour with 1/4 cup cold water and whisk until smooth. Slowly pour the mixture into the pot while stirring constantly. Allow it to cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • When adding the mushrooms, be sure to season them generously with salt and pepper to bring out their flavor.
  • You can use any type of sausage you prefer for this recipe. If you don’t like spicy Italian sausage, you can substitute mild Italian sausage or chorizo.
  • If you don’t have white wine, you can use chicken broth instead.
  • For extra color and flavor, top the dish with fresh parsley before serving.
