Notes

Can I make this one-pot chicken recipe in advance?
Absolutely, it will be tastier as the sauce will have time to set.
How to store the leftover?
Store the leftover in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Can I use just the red peppers for this recipe?
Yes, of course. However I suggest you use mixed colour peppers, has will give more taste to it.
I have left with some peppers sauce, how to use it?
Use it for the pasta, it will be so delicious. Don't forget to grate some Parmigiano Reggiano cheese on it.
