Ingredients:

2 large

Potatoes

2 tbsps

Olive Oil

Directions:

1

Wash and peel the potatoes, then quarter and slice the quarters into 1/4-inch sections, producing triangle shaped pieces

2

Wash and core the bell peppers, then cut them into 1 by 1-inch pieces

3

Wash the chicken and pat dry

4

Cut the chicken into strips or leave the breast whole (add 5 minutes of cooking time to whole/large pieces of chicken)

5

Cut each sausage link on the bias into 4 pieces

6

In a nonstick 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat add the olive oil and sausage, and brown the sausage, for about 5 minutes

7

Once the sausage is browned, add the chicken, and brown it on all sides, about 5 to 10 minutes

8

Once the chicken is browned, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, all of the bell peppers, the jalapenos and potatoes

9

Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning and 3 turns of a peppermill, or a good pinch of black pepper

10

Saute on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally

11

Stir in the flour and cook it until the roux is light golden brown, about 1 minute

12

Reduce the heat to low

13

Carefully add the sherry, avoiding the open flame, to deglaze pan

14

Add 1 can of beef stock and stir to combine

15

Mixture will thicken, while simmering on low heat for 10 minutes; if you like thinner gravy add more beef stock until the desired thickness is formed

16

Season with more salt and pepper, to taste

17

Transfer the chicken pisano to a serving bowl and serve
