Chicken Scarpariello

I love chicken. In my opinion, (just like potatoes) it's one of those meats that no matter how you make it, tastes really good. 

I recently heard about this dish and found a recipe for it, but then made it my own. 

The original dish calls for sausage, but I just kept it simple.  

I made it the other night, and it's a hearty dish perfect for those cold nights coming soon. Buon Appetito!

  6 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2-3 chicken breast pieces
