Ingredients
For the Chicken

- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 chicken sausages, cut into ½ inch pieces
For the Sauce
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 8 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 4 ounces pimento peppers drained
- 1 cup white wine
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- fresh herbs to garnish such as chives, basil, parsley or arugula
Instructions
- Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and crispy, about 6-8 minutes
- Flip the chicken to the other side and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. The chicken should be entirely cooked. Add more oil if needed and saute the chicken sausage until golden on the edges. Remove and set aside
- Add the butter to the same skillet and melt. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Add the pimento peppers and white wine and allow the wine to start to cook down. Add the chicken and sausage while the wine is cooking down to reheat in the sauce
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve alongside some cooked rice, pasta or dressed arugula.
