Chicken Riggies

"Like most regional recipes, there is much debate on the origin of Chicken Riggies. Everyone has a favorite family version that has been passed down for years. And now we do, too! One of the most distinguishing characteristics of Riggies is the use of a tomato cream sauce. Laura and I were out to dinner last week, and I was telling her that I much prefer a standard tomato sauce over a tomato cream sauce. Then I turned around and made Riggies for dinner. She was all like, “But…but…but.” And I was all like, “But Riggies.” Aside from the tomato cream sauce (which is silly easy to make), Chicken Riggies often include sweet or hot cherry peppers. I’ve never cooked with hot cherry peppers before, but I grabbed a jar from the store the other day. Conveniently, the only jar of hot peppers they had was huge. I say ‘conveniently’ with a bit of sarcasm as I only needed 3-4 peppers for this recipe. I was thinking “What the heck am I going to do with the rest of these hot peppers now?” Well the answer is make more Chicken Riggies. Seriously. It’s delicious! (On a side note, I found 4 peppers brought plenty of heat to this recipe, but we like spicy food. Feel free to adjust to your tastes, or just use sweet cherry peppers instead.)"
