Copycat dish Carmine’s Chicken Scarpariello, a very simple dish with just a few ingredients, it is full of fragrant and fresh flavor.
One of the first stops on the Mom Blog Tour at the Summer Fancy Food Show was at Carmine’s in New York City. Living in the tri-state area all my life, if you could believe it, I had never been to this landmark restaurant!
I was expecting your typical Italian fare, but when the waiter brought out our meals, I was at awe at the beautiful dishes that Wendy, our host, chose for us to enjoy. One of my favorites was Chicken Scarpariello.
While Chicken Scarpariello is a very simple dish with just a few ingredients, it is full of fragrant and fresh flavor. This is the kind of dish you want to pull out and enjoy with a table full of friends and family and a nice bottle of wine.
Don’t forget to pin this Chicken Scarpariello Recipe for later!
