Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 8 ounces linguica sausage, sliced

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped

  • 4 pounds chicken parts

  • 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh oregano

  • ¼ teaspoon chopped fresh basil

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 cup dry white wine

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 2 bay leaves

  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1 orange, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage, onion, and bell pepper; saute until vegetables are softened and sausage is browned, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate, leaving drippings in the pot.

  2. Combine oregano, basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and rub on chicken. Add chicken to the pot, raise heat to medium-high, and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes.

  3. Stir sausage and vegetable mixture into the pot with wine, broth, bay leaves, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer, covered, until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 35 to 45 minutes.

  4. Remove and discard bay leaves. Serve chicken with orange wedges.
