  1. Cut up the chicken, sausage, potatoes and peppers into roughly 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes.

  3. Take a medium sized sauté pan and drizzle 2 ounces (60ml) of oil, making sure the oil is hot, then put both the chicken and sausage into the pan until the chicken and sausage starts getting a golden color.
  4. After 35 minutes, remove the potato and pepper mixture from the oven, the potatoes should be both soft on the inside and golden on the outside.
  5. Put 2 gloves of fresh sliced garlic in the pan. Once the garlic is golden, toss in the roasted potatoes and peppers mixture as well as an ounce of butter, then add in white wine, salt, pepper and chicken stock and combine.
  6. Once combined, take the sauté pan, and put in a 450° degrees F (230° C) oven for 5 minutes.
  7. After 5 minutes take the pan out of the oven and finish back on the stove for 2 minutes. Finishing with a squeeze of lemon.
  8. Once you start seeing the sauce get thicker turn the stove off, and you have yourself an Il Monello chicken. Enjoy!
