Chicken Pepperoncini Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by lovemygolden

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 1/4 pound of chicken (breasts, legs, thighs)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoon oregano
3/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 green bell pepper, or 1/2 green and 1/2 red or yellow pepper- cut into strips or chunks
18-24 pepperoncini (an 11 1/2 ounce jar), drained, rinsed and left whole
1 lemon, cut in half

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450° degrees. Wash chicken and pat it dry. In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes together. Sprinkle half the mixture over the skin side of each piece. In a roasting pan or shallow casserole dish, add oil and place in oven to heat. Add the chicken pieces, skin side down. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the top of the pieces. Cook until the chicken pieces are golden (about 15 minutes). Turn chicken over and add green pepper and pepperoncini. Cook until chicken is done and green pepper strips are soft. (Chicken tastes better when it is very golden, be careful not to dry it out though.) Remove pan from oven and squeeze fresh lemon halves over chicken. Transfer chicken, peppers, and pepperoncini into large serving dish. Pour juice from pan over the top.

BAKED CHICKEN PEPPERONI



Baked Chicken Pepperoni image

There was a movie in the 1980s called Seems Like Old Times starring Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. One of the recurring themes in this movie was Goldie Hawn's character's ability to cook an amazing dish called Chicken Pepperoni. I had never heard of Chicken Pepperoni before, but I thought it sounded delicious. So I decided to put some ingredients together and gave it the ol' college try. It came out delicious!

PEPPERONCINI CHICKEN



Pepperoncini Chicken image

I have to give my husband the credit for inventing this recipe. Our whole family makes this recipe regularly. We all love it. The more pepperocini's the spicier it gets...sometimes we brown it, sometimes not. This is so easy. If the pepperocini's get too brown on the bottom, they caramelize. Yummy!!
