Classic Chicken Vesuvio
Ingredients
- chicken thighs (10 )
- dried oregano (1.5 teaspoons)
- garlic powder (1.5 teaspoons)
- salt (1 teaspoon)
- ground black pepper (0.5 teaspoon)
- grapeseed oil (1 tablespoon)
- baby potatoes (1.5 pounds)
- garlic (2 cloves)
- white wine (1.5 cups)
- chicken broth (1.5 cups)
- unsalted butter (2 tablespoons)
- all-purpose flour (2 tablespoons)
- heavy cream (0.5 cup)
- lemon (1 )
- frozen peas (1 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Season chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat; add grapeseed oil. Add chicken to the skillet; brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Sprinkle potatoes with remaining 1/2 teaspoon each oregano and garlic powder. Add potatoes to the skillet over medium-high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until all sides are browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer chicken and potatoes to a large roasting pan.
- Add garlic to the skillet over medium-high heat; cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in 1 cup white wine; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Stir in 1 cup chicken broth; cook until sauce reduced, 7 to 10 minutes; pour over chicken and potatoes.
- Cook in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
- During the last 25 minutes of cooking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and stir to create a roux. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup wine, 1/2 cup chicken broth, and heavy cream until sauce is incorporated and slightly thickened, 7 to 10 minutes; stir in lemon juice. Set aside.
- Stir peas into the roasting pan; continue cooking until peas are heated through and chicken is no longer pink at the bone, about 15 minutes more. Remove from oven; pour wine sauce over chicken.
