  • 4 pieces Chicken Thighs skin-on, bone-in for best flavor
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil can substitute with butter
For the Potatoes
  • 4 cups Potatoes cut into chunks
For the Sauce
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup White Wine can substitute with chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons Butter for richness
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice optional, for brightness
For the Final Touch
  • 1 cup Peas fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley optional garnish

Equipment

  • oven-safe skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once shimmering, place chicken thighs skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden-brown.
  2. Flip the thighs to brown the other side for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add potato chunks, minced garlic, oregano, and thyme to the skillet. Sauté together for 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom. Allow the wine to simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Cover the skillet and transfer to a preheated oven at 375°F. Bake for 30-40 minutes until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
  6. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the peas and drizzle lemon juice over the dish. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
