This one-pan chicken dinner gets two times the flavor from using both the peppers and the pickling liquid in a jar of peperoncini. The chicken roasts in the spicy pickling liquid, while the potatoes cook away nestled among the bright, yellow peppers. Once the potatoes are done, just toss them together with crisp, raw vegetables for warm potato salad vibes. —Grant Melton
