SPICY ITALIAN CHICKEN CASSEROLE
Juicy chicken with crispy skin in a spicy tomato sauce with bell peppers, olives and capers. Inspired by Mario Batali's Sicilian Chicken (but more sauce!). Feel free to dial back the spiciness. Made on the stove, this is a hearty dinner on the table in 30 minutes. Recipe VIDEO below.

Steps:
- Use a small knife to prick 5 or so gashes into the skin of the chicken. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
- Place chicken skin side down in a cold large non stick skillet, then turn stove onto medium high. As it heats up, the fat under the skin will start to melt through the holes in the skin.
- Cook for 4 - 5 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy. Turn the chicken and cook the other side for 3 minutes.
- Remove chicken onto a plate, discard fat (don't scrape the pan) then return to the stove.
- Add oil, garlic and onion. Cook for 1 minute, then add capsicum. Cook for 2 minutes then add wine. Bring to a simmer and stir, scraping the pan to get those golden bits mixed in.
- Once most of the wine is evaporated and it doesn't smell winey anymore, add the tomato, water and pepper flakes. Stir, bring to a simmer, adjust heat so it's bubbling energetically but not rapidly (and not slowly).
- After 5 minutes (or so), stir through olives and capers. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper.
- Then place chicken into the sauce, being careful not to submerge the skin. Cook for another 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle over parsley. Serve with crusty bread, or use half the sauce to toss through / pour over pasta and the other half to serve with chicken (see photos in post).

Steps:
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 2 pieces of foil.
- Put the chicken in a large pan, season with salt and pepper and cover with water. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Remove the chicken and let cool, then shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones. Save the broth for cooking the spaghetti.
- Remove the sausage from the casings and put into a large skillet with the olive oil. Cook over medium heat, breaking up the sausage meat into small pieces, until it is no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Add the mushrooms to the skillet. When they give up their liquid, add the green peppers and sundried tomatoes, then cook until just beginning to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and set aside on top of the sausage. Reserve the oil in the skillet.
- Bring the reserved chicken broth back to a boil. Cook the spaghetti in the broth until al dente according to the package instructions, then drain, reserving the broth.
- If there is less than 2 tablespoons oil/fat in the skillet, add some olive oil to make 2 tablespoons. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute over medium heat. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups of the reserved chicken broth. When it starts to thicken, after about 5 minutes, add the half-and-half. If it is too thick, thin with some more broth. Turn off the heat and add the basil and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan; season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chicken, sausage and vegetables. Stir in the spaghetti.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan on top and cover with aluminum foil. Cook the casserole immediately, or let cool completely, then freeze.
- If cooking right away, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cook for 25 minutes, then uncover the baking dish and cook until heated through, an additional 20 minutes.
- To cook from frozen: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Cook the frozen casserole for 2 hours, then raise the temperature to 375 degrees F, uncover and cook until heated through, 15 minutes more.
- Serve with salad and French bread.
SPICY SOUTHWEST CHICKEN CASSEROLE
This is a recipe I developed after tweaking many other recipes. It has become a real favorite in my household! Easily adjustable to your preference of spiciness as well. Also easy to change to your liking by adding other veggies or peppers. Save time by cooking extra chicken ahead of time when making other chicken dishes. Serve with your choice of toppings, like sour cream, guacamole, sliced avocados, sliced black olives, or whatever else you like!

Steps:
- Cut chicken in 1 ½ inch cubes (this will help it to cook faster and get the seasonings throughout the whole piece of chicken).
- Boil chicken in a big covered pot of water seasoned with sea salt, garlic powder, oregano, rosemary, cayenne, cumin and bay leaves for approximately 1 hour. (Don't let boil too hard or your broth will evaporate too quickly).
- Have soups, veggies, green chilies and 1 cup shredded cheese pre-mixed in bowl; set aside.
- Once cooked, scoop chicken out of pot, add more water to broth and boil egg noodles in broth until soft.
- Drain pasta and return to pot.
- Add chicken and soup mixture to pot and stir.
- Pour into casserole dish and top with remaining cheese.
- Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes.
- Turn to broil for another 5-6 minutes checking every few minutes to make sure the cheese doesn't burn.
- Sprinkle top with crushed red pepper and cayenne if you want it spicier.
- I usually top half of the casserole with the red pepper and cayenne for those that want it spicier.
