Chicken Da Vinci is a comforting Italian-American classic that combines the richness of Italian sausage with the earthiness of mushrooms and the brightness of green peppers.

This dish offers a perfect balance of textures, from the crisp-tender vegetables to the creamy, herb-infused sauce that coats every bite. It’s an elegant yet simple weeknight dinner that feels special enough for guests but easy enough for a busy Tuesday. Serve over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Slice the chicken breasts, green peppers, and onion into thin strips.
  2. Slice the fresh mushrooms into rounds about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Cut the Italian sausages into slices or chunks.
  4. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the Italian sausage slices until browned and cooked through.
  5. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  6. In the same pan, retain some grease and add olive oil as necessary to coat the bottom.
  7. Add the minced garlic and green pepper strips, sautéing until the peppers are about half done.
  8. Add the sliced onions and cook until the vegetables are barely tender but still slightly crisp, ensuring they do not brown.
  9. Remove the vegetable mixture from the pan and add it to the plate with the sausage.
  10. Add more oil to the pan if needed, then sauté the mushrooms until they are browned and tender.
  11. Remove the mushrooms and add them to the other ingredients.
  12. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and sauté until fully cooked through and golden on both sides.
  13. Return the sausage, vegetables, and mushrooms to the pan with the chicken.
  14. Season generously with fresh rosemary, oregano, and a pinch of basil.
  15. If the mixture seems dry, add small amounts of chicken broth or a mix of broth and white wine to create a light sauce.
  16. If too much liquid was added, thicken the sauce by stirring in a slurry of cornstarch and water until desired consistency is reached.
