Many Italian-American families have their own riff on this homey chicken-and-sausage dish: Some add sweet peppers, others white wine.

Braised in a broth that is infused with rosemary, shallots, and pickled peppers (plus a splash of pickling brine for zip), the meats get super-tender—and the aroma is sublime.
