Everyone loves this. Among the many reasons I like this dish: impressive way to prepare chicken with a home-style rustic presentation, and it's easy to do all the prep ahead of time. Serve on a bed of creamy polenta or risotto. Be sure to get Italian wine, I use a negro armoro/cab blend. For the chilies I use an Italian chili paste. I follow the recipe for timing, but only cook as needed to finish the chicken to avoid over-cooked veggies. Works as indicated on recipe.

So, what kind of chilies are we talking about? Dried long red ones, fresh jalapenos...? I'd like to know what those of you have made this recipe used. I have not yet made it, obviosly, but it sounds good!

Thanks!

I read the reviews and was worried about
the vegs turning into a big gloppy mess
so I first cooked the egg plant and peppers a little bit like 5 minutes
then the rest of the vegetables for another few mins. just to flavor them and to give the cooking process a little head start. Thanks Mario

To begin with there is no way that the large chunks of potatoes, peppers, carrots and celery can ever become tender by just simmering for 15 minutes. Even worse, when you throw all the vegtables in together, you have mush for the eggplant and rocks for the other vegies.
I did not think the olives added anything and I think the wine could be cut to 1cup.Finally, the recipe times don't match the cooking instructions.

I love this dish, especially the idea of all those vegetables in one pot. Not only is it delicious, but, easy to make for dinner party as the main course. It is one of the best--give it a try--it will change your life.

fortunately for me I had all the ingredients for this recipe in the house and literally began preparing as Mario was cooking..I just served this dish and heard yum and lick smacking remarks.. it's wonderful .. very tasty.. the melange of veggies are simply great! very flavorful.. I cannot say enough good things about this dish.
try it.. and there's a enough heat from the hot peppers to add even more depth to this dish.
