CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN RIGGIES

This results in a sauce that seems much richer than it actually is, and I think you'll love the subtle sweetness the wine imparts, which works wonderfully with the heat from the peppers.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces hot Italian ground sausage meat
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 onion, sliced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, roughly chopped
½ cup Marsala wine
1 (28 ounce) can whole Italian plum tomatoes (such as San Marzano), crushed
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup water, or as needed
1 ½ cups chopped hot and sweet peppers
½ cup pitted and chopped kalamata olives
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
1 pound rigatoni
½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage, mushrooms, onions, salt, and black pepper in hot oil until vegetables are softened and sausage is browned, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir chopped chicken to sausage mixture; cook and stir over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in wine and cook, stirring to remove any browned bits off the bottom of the pan, until most of the wine is evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, chicken broth, and cream; simmer for 30 minutes. If needed, add water to create a thick sauce.
  • Stir peppers, olives, and garlic into sauce. Continue to simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir in parsley.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until nearly cooked, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine sauce and cooked pasta, stir in cheese, cover and set aside until pasta has absorbed the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment. Chicken riggies is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste. Try adding different vegetables, cheeses, or spices to create your own unique version of this classic dish.

Conclusion:

Chicken riggies is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at parties or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that everyone will love.
