This must be one of the first recipes I ever learned. Italian feasts were a regular occurrence at my grandparents house and this one is right out of the family cookbook.
Back then, we cooked the sauce with skin-on chicken thighs. the crispy skin on the chicken is of course delicious but nowadays I tend to remove the skin. Believe me... you won't miss the additional fat as there is so much going on here.
It's hard to believe that a recipe with so few ingredients could taste so good but I absolutely love Chicken Roman Style! I hope you do too.
If you do get a chance to try this recipe, please be sure to let me know what you think. I'd love to hear from you.
