We're unaware of your chicken's nationality or immigration status; if it calls itself "pollo," it may indeed be a rooster from Rome. (And if your chicken calls itself anything, you might want to lie down for awhile.) This chicken is instead Italian-inspired, with marinara, kale, and shallot. Stuffed into fresh green bell peppers, whatever nationality this chicken is, it's also one other thing: delicious.
