Chicken Vesuvio

Chicken Vesuvio is a one-pan meal comprised of golden and crisp bone-in chicken pieces roasted with garlic, onion, and potatoes, and served with a delicious pan sauce and peas. Named after the volcano Mt. Vesuvio in Naples, Italy, it has become a classic Chicago dish that you will like!

Ingredients:

* 1/4 cup olive oil

* 4 chicken thighs with skin and bone (about 1.5 lb.)

For serving:

Instructions:

* Over medium high heat, in a large ovenproof skillet, heat ¼ cup of olive oil.

* Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and place in the skillet. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet.

* Place potatoes chunks in the same skillet, season with oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes and cook until potatoes are golden brown on all sides (about 10 minutes) stirring occasionally.

* Add sliced garlic and saute for one minute.

* Add salted butter, white wine and chicken stock and deglaze the pan. Stir in peas. Simmer for 4-5 minutes.
