It is now widespread throughout Italy and despite its simplicity it is a dish full of flavor that Gian Piero recommends accompanying with bread, to make the final mopping up, or as in this case, with a nice mashed potato so that it soaks up the sauce and everything is even tastier. The choice of cuts of chicken is very important. Gian for example has opted for the thighs that remain nice and moist and the breast, which is often not taken into consideration because everyone says it remains stringy and dry. The truth is that if the breast is cooked properly it is enhanced. Every family has its own tricks for making this dish: there are those who blend with a drop of vinegar, those who add basil and those who, like Gian Piero, remove the skin from the peppers for a lighter dish, add cherry tomatoes and tomato puree. Ingredients: 4 drumsticks + 4 chicken supremes 2 spring onions 2 yellow peppers + 2 red peppers 7 coppery tomatoes 350 g tomato puree 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 red garlic clove 1 fresh chilli pepper 1 bunch of mixed herbs For the mashed potatoes: 1.2 kg potatoes 250 ml milk 125 g butter 60 g grated cheese 1 lemon sage and thyme salt and pepper extra virgin olive oil
