This chicken with peppers recipe uses butter instead of olive oil. This is because in the region of Epirus (where this recipe comes from), olive trees do not thrive therefore butter is used more.
Feel free to substitute olive oil or half butter/half olive oil. Either way, the cinnamon, allspice, and cloves will make your house smell wonderful.
