About the dish

Pollo con capperi is a traditional dish originating from the Lazio area. The dish is usually made with a combination of a whole chicken, capers, dry white wine, anchovies, garlic, pine nuts, parsley, olive oil, and pepper. The chicken is cut into pieces that are browned in olive oil. White wine is added to the pan and the combination is cooked until the alcohol evaporates. The anchovies, capers, parsley, garlic, and pepper are processed until smooth, and the sauce is then spooned over the chicken pieces. The pan is covered and the dish is cooked for a bit longer with the addition of water to keep everything succulent. The pine nuts are added near the end of cooking and the dish is then served warm.
