italian chicken recipes This is an easy, simple and healthy way to cook chicken, the result is delicious.

I confess I don’t have the faintest idea of what the word “potacchio” means, I’ll let you know as soon as I find out.

You can use a young chicken cut into small size pieces or skinless, boneless thighs cut in quarters.

In a casserole or a wok, heat olive oil with three or four cloves of garlic.

Add the chicken and brown well on all sides over medium-high heat.

Add a generous glass of Verdicchio , salt, a pinch of crushed chili peppers, rosemary leaves and a cup of cherry tomatoes.

Bring to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer, cover tightly and simmer for half an hour. Remove the lid and cook uncovered for ten minutes or for as log as it takes to the liquid to evaporate.
