Roman Chicken
 
 
4   skinless chicken breast halves, with ribs  
2   skinless chicken thighs, with bones  
1/2 tsp    salt, plus 1 teaspoon  
1/2 tsp    freshly ground black pepper, plus 1 teaspoon  
1/4 cup    olive oil  
1   red bell pepper, sliced  
1   yellow bell pepper, sliced  
3 oz    prosciutto, chopped  
2   cloves garlic, chopped  
1   (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes  
1/2 cup    white wine  
1 Tbs    fresh thyme leaves  
1 tsp    fresh oregano leaves  
1/2 cup    chicken stock  
2 Tbs    capers  
1/4 cup    chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves  
 
1 Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a heavy, large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken until browned on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2 Keeping the same pan over medium heat, add the peppers and prosciutto and cook until the peppers have browned and the prosciutto is crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, wine, and herbs. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken to the pan, add the stock, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 30 minutes.
3 If serving immediately, add the capers and the parsley. Stir to combine and serve. If making ahead of time, transfer the chicken and sauce to a storage container, cool, and refrigerate. The next day, reheat the chicken to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the capers and the parsley and serve.
