Instructions

Sear the Chicken
Pat chicken dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down until deeply golden and crispy, about 6–8 minutes. Flip and cook 3–4 minutes more. Remove and set aside.
Brown the Sausage
In the same skillet, add sausage and cook until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
Cook the Vegetables
Add bell peppers and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until softened and lightly caramelized, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Build the Sauce
Pour in white wine and simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly. Add chicken broth, vinegar, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Simmer
Return chicken and sausage to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
Finish & Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Bone-in chicken gives the best flavor and juiciness.
Use hot Italian sausage or cherry peppers for extra heat.
Serve with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or polenta to soak up the sauce.
