Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken pieces, bone-in, skin-on
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cups Yukon Gold potato wedges
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, sliced
- 2/3 cup dry white wine
- 2/3 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon butter, plus more as needed
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2 -Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper.
Step 3 -In an oven-safe skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
Step 4 -Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken to the skillet skin side down.
Step 5 -Sauté the chicken until it is browned and the skin is crisp, for about 5-7 minutes.
Step 6 -Flip the chicken and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 7 -Transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
Step 8 -Add the potato wedges and onion, cooking until the onion is translucent and the potatoes start to brown on the cut side, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 9 -Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 10 -Transfer the potatoes and onion to a plate and set them aside.
Step 11 -Pour the wine into the skillet and cook until reduced to about 1/2.
Step 12 -Deglaze the skillet, scraping up browned bits at the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon.
Step 13 -Return the potatoes, onion, and garlic to the skillet.
Step 14 -Add the chicken stock, parsley, and Italian seasoning, stirring to combine.
Step 15 -Place the chicken pieces on top of the mixture in the skillet.
Step 16 -Cover the skillet and place it in the oven. Roast the skillet until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink at the bone, with an instant-read thermometer reading 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the meat, about 45 minutes.
Step 17 -Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken and vegetables to a plate using a slotted spoon.
Step 18 -Bring the liquid in the skillet to a simmer.
Step 19 -Add the butter and stir until smooth and shiny, about 5 minutes.
Step 20 -Season the pan sauce to taste.
Step 21 -Add the peas to the pan sauce and cook until thawed through, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 22 -Plate the chicken and vegetables, coating them with the pan sauce and peas. Serve!
