Time 1h55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

10 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano, divided
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder, divided
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil, or more as needed
1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, halved
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups white wine, divided
1 ½ cups chicken broth, divided
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup whipping cream
1 small lemon, juiced
1 cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Season chicken thighs with 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add grapeseed oil. Brown chicken in the hot oil, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer chicken pieces to a plate.
  • Sprinkle potatoes with remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Add potatoes to the hot skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to ensure all sides are browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer potatoes and chicken to a large roasting pan.
  • Cook minced garlic in the hot skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour 1 cup white wine into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon. Add 1 cup chicken broth. Allow sauce to reduce, 7 to 10 minutes. Pour over chicken and potatoes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  • During the last 25 minutes of baking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour and stir to create a roux. Add remaining 1/2 cup wine, 1/2 cup chicken broth, and whipping cream. Stir until sauce has incorporated and thickened slightly, 7 to 10 minutes. Add lemon juice. Set sauce aside.
  • Stir peas into the roasting pan and continue baking until peas are heated through and chicken is no longer pink at the bone, about 15 minutes more. Remove from oven and pour sauce over chicken.

CHICKEN VESUVIO



Chicken Vesuvio image

No one really knows who invented chicken Vesuvio, a roast chicken and potato dish in white wine sauce named after Mount Vesuvius, the volcano in Campania, Italy. Some believe the dish first appeared on the menu at Vesuvio, a well-known Chicago restaurant in the 1930s; others believe it's a riff on the roast chicken dishes that grandmothers in Southern Italy have been making for hundreds of years. (The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.) Whatever its origins, Chicagoans claim it as their own, and you can find it at almost every Italian-American restaurant in the Windy City. The dish always includes plenty of oregano and lemon juice, and usually a scattering of fresh or frozen peas for color. We reached out to La Scarola, one of the most popular Italian-American restaurants in Chicago, for their recipe, and then we adapted it for home cooks. Serve it with plenty of crusty bread, for sopping up the mouthwatering sauce.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large russet potatoes (about 2 1/4 pounds), scrubbed, halved lengthwise, then cut into long 1-inch-wide wedges
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 8 thighs)
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 slices
6 to 8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 1/4 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup fresh or frozen green peas
1/2 lemon, juiced
Chopped Italian parsley, for serving
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, toss the potato wedges with 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes out in an even layer. (It's OK if some overlap). Bake, tossing gently once halfway through cooking, until the edges begin to brown, and the potatoes can be pierced with a fork but are still quite firm, about 30 minutes. (They'll finish cooking with the chicken.)
  • While potatoes roast, prepare the chicken: Season the chicken with salt, pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon oregano. In a large 12-inch skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high until it shimmers. Working in batches if necessary, cook the chicken, skin-side down, until it is golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, add the butter and garlic to the skillet and cook until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant and just beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and wine to the skillet, bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Add the peas. Pour the mixture evenly over the potatoes, then gently stir to combine. Place chicken on top of the cooked potato mixture, skin-side up. Drizzle any reserved chicken juices on top.
  • Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler function, and broil until the chicken skin is golden brown and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately, with plenty of the pan juices spooned over the chicken and potatoes, and crusty bread on the side.

½ onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, sliced
⅔ cup dry white wine
⅔ cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon butter, or more as needed
½ cup frozen peas

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Dry chicken pieces well and season liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Warm olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add chicken, skin-side down. Cook until chicken is browned and skin is crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn over and cook until golden brown on the other side, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

  • Cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Roast until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink at the bone, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Return the skillet to stove and remove chicken and vegetables, leaving liquid. Bring to a simmer. Add butter and stir until smooth, about 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Add peas to sauce and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer. Serve chicken atop potato wedges and garnish with pan sauce and peas.

CLASSIC CHICAGO CHICKEN VESUVIO



Classic Chicago Chicken Vesuvio image

In the crowded world of Chicago Italian joint chicken dishes, there are always so many to choose from: piccata, marsala, scaloppine al limone, francese, parmigiana, and bocconcini, to name a few staples. And there's usually at least one dish named after a real guy...like Chicken a la Tony Ocean, Al Pimonte Ford Chicken, or Chicken Uncle Gino. But if you order a Chicken Uncle Gino or any namesake chicken, you're basically getting chicken vesuvio, with additional ingredients like crumbled sausage and maybe some freshly chopped parsley. That's why chicken vesuvio is king of the chicken mountain. It really is a lovely dish when done right: bright and zesty while still rich and succulent. Like most roasted chicken dishes, it's best when the skin is nicely rendered and crispy with a fair coating of almost-crunchy dried Italian seasoning. The fresh lemon and white wine give the dish a punch of life. The addition of peas is not exactly traditional, but they really tie the room together with their bursts of sweetness.This dish pairs well with sausage pizza and a big 'ol salad!

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (4 pound) skin-on, bone-in chicken pieces, patted dry (2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 drums, 2 wings)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 pound medium russet potatoes, unpeeled, cut into wedges about 1/8th of each potato
6 garlic cloves, smashed
2 fresh thyme sprigs
2 fresh oregano sprigs
1 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Season chicken liberally with salt and pepper. In a large cast-iron skillet, add 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium heat. Working in batches, sear the chicken pieces, flipping only once, until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the seared chicken to a plate or sheet pan and set aside.
  • Add 3 tablespoons oil to the skillet and place the potato wedges cut side down in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Sear until lightly golden, about 6 minutes, then flip and sear the other cut side for 6 minutes. Remove the potatoes to a plate or sheet pan and set aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon oil and the garlic to the skillet and let the garlic flavor infuse into the oil without the garlic coloring, 30 seconds. Add the thyme, oregano, and wine and bring to a simmer.
  • Return the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer and top with the chicken, skin side up. Brush the chicken with a little more oil and season with salt. Sprinkle a generous amount of the Italian seasoning all over the tops of the chicken. Roast the chicken and potatoes in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  • Remove skillet from the oven, add the peas and let them heat through. Let the chicken cool for 10 minutes. Pour the lemon juice over the top and top with the zest and parsley.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Note: Make this as fiery as you like by adjusting the amount of crushed red pepper.
1 4 1/2-pound chicken, quartered, backbone removed
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large russet potatoes (about 14 ounces each), peeled, each cut into 6 pieces)
6 large garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 teaspoon (or more) dried crushed red pepper
1/2 cup chicken stock or canned chicken broth
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle oregano and garlic powder over chicken; set aside. Heat oil in large ovenproof pot over high heat. Add potatoes and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer potatoes to bowl.
  • Add chicken to same pot and sauté until golden brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add garlic cloves and dried crushed red pepper and sauté 2 minutes. Return potatoes to pot. Remove pot from heat. Add stock. Return to medium-high heat and bring to boil.
  • Cover pot tightly; transfer to oven and bake until chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Add peas to pot; cover and bake 5 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to platter. Arrange potatoes and peas around chicken. Pour sauce from pot over chicken. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. This will give the dish the most flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will not brown properly and will be more likely to steam than roast.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color and flavor to the dish. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, onions, and bell peppers.
  • Roast the chicken and vegetables at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy skin on the chicken and tender-crisp vegetables.
  • Baste the chicken with the pan juices while it is roasting. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken and vegetables immediately. This is when they will be at their best.

Conclusion:

Chicken Vesuvio is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
