Skillet chicken and potatoes

Skillet chicken and potatoes is a classic rustic dish, simple yet delicious. Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

• 4 chicken thighs (or drumsticks)
• 4 medium potatoes
• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 sprig of rosemary (or 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary)
• 1/2 glass of white wine
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Start by washing and drying the chicken thighs, then season them evenly with salt and pepper.
2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into pieces about 2-3 cm, then rinse them to remove the excess starch and dry them.
3. Take a large skillet, heat the oil and sauté the garlic cloves to flavor it.
4. Add the chicken to the skillet and brown it over medium-high heat, turning it occasionally to ensure it colors evenly.
5. Once the chicken is golden, temporarily remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
6. In the same skillet, add the potatoes and brown them in the aromatic oil, turning them from time to time.
7. Reduce the heat and add the chicken back into the skillet with the potatoes. Add the rosemary.
8. Deglaze with white wine, letting the alcohol evaporate over high heat.
9. Lower the heat, cover with a lid and let cook for 30-40 minutes, until the chicken is well cooked and the potatoes are tender. If necessary, add a little water during cooking.
10. Adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
