- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare Vinegared Peppers: Wash and dry the peppers. Leave cherry peppers whole with stems attached. Core, quarter, and seed bell peppers, then cut into 1/2-inch thick strips. Peel onions and cut an “x” into both ends. Add peppers and onions to a 1-quart canning jar. |
| 2 | Pack Peppers: Fill a 1-quart canning jar with boiling water and let stand for 1 minute. Drain water and immediately pack peppers and onions in the jar, sprinkling with salt as you pack. |
| 3 | Add Vinegar: Pour white wine vinegar over peppers and add water, if needed, to cover them completely. Tightly seal the jar and shake well to mix. Place in a cool, dark place to marinate for at least two weeks before using. |
| 4 | Cook Chicken and Sausage: Heat oil in a large deep sauté pan over medium-high heat. Saute sausage for about 8 minutes until lightly browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove and set aside. |
| 5 | Cook Chicken: Reheat oil and pat chicken dry. Saute chicken for about 15 minutes until cooked through. |
| 6 | Saute Vegetables: Stir in bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Saute for 5 minutes or until vegetables are soft and beginning to brown. Drain off excess oil and return sausage to the pan. |
| 7 | Deglaze Pan: Add wine and chicken broth to the pan, bring to a boil. |
| 8 | Add Flavor: Stir in Vinegared Peppers, vinegar, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil. |
| 9 | Simmer: Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes or until flavors have combined and sauce has reduced. |
| 10 | Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot. Enjoy your flavorful Chicken Scarpariello! |
