From the Test Kitchen

DEFINITION
Chicken scarpariello (also known as shoemaker’s chicken) is a classic Italian-American dish of chicken, sausage, onions, and peppers beloved for its tangy, sweet, and sour flavor combination.

TECHNIQUE IN FOCUS
Both chicken and sausage leave behind browned bits (or fond), which contain an incredible amount of flavor. We’re using vinegar and chicken broth to “deglaze” the pan and loosen the fond— enhancing the rich flavors of the dish.
