How to Make Roman Style Chicken

  1. Season chicken thighs generously with salt and pepper.

  3. Add chicken thighs to the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  4. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add sliced bell peppers and prosciutto to the skillet. Cook until peppers are softened and prosciutto is crispy, about 5 minutes.

  12. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
  13. If making ahead, transfer chicken and sauce to a storage container. Cool completely before refrigerating.
  14. To reheat, gently simmer over medium heat until heated through. Stir in capers and parsley before serving.
