Method

  1. Chop the mini sweet peppers into bite‑size pieces.

  2. Season the chicken pieces with salt and garlic powder.

  3. Heat a pan over medium heat, add butter and oil, then add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown, about 5‑7 minutes.

  4. In a second pan, melt a little butter with a splash of oil, add a pinch of salt and garlic powder, then stir in the spicy vodka sauce, oregano, and toasted chilies; simmer for 2‑3 minutes.

  5. Combine the cooked chicken, peppers, and sauce in the first pan, stir to coat evenly, then top with shredded mozzarella and grated parmigiano‑reggiano.

  6. Transfer the pan to a pre‑heated oven (375°F / 375°F) and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10‑12 minutes.

  7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle a generous handful of torn fresh basil on top, and serve immediately.
