Pollo alla Romana (Roman-Style Chicken)
Recipe copyright 2000, Mario Batali. All rights reserved.
Show:  Molto Mario
Episode:  Nonna Romana
Pollo alla Romana (Roman-Style Chicken)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 ounces pancetta, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 (3 1/2 to 4 pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1/2 cup Frascati or other dry white wine
1 (16-ounce) can San Marzano tomatoes and their juices
2 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into strips
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut into strips
Salt and pepper

In a 12 to 14-inch saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook slowly to render out much of the fat. Remove all but 4 tablespoons of the fat-oil mixture from the pan and add the garlic and chicken, cooking until chicken begins to change color and garlic browns. Add the wine and cook 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and peppers, season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer, uncovered, 45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
