Chicken Vesuvio

Ingredients:
1/2 cup flour
4 chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
3 tbsp olive oil
2 lbs potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp dried oregano, or 1 tsp fresh
1/4 tsp dried rosemary, or 1/2 tsp fresh
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup frozen peas
4 tbsp butter
1 tbsp lemon juice
Red pepper flakes (optional)

Method:
Spread flour in shallow dish. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Working with 1 breast at a time, dredge breasts in flour.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Brown chicken lightly, 3 to 4 minutes per side; transfer to plate.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Stir in garlic, oregano, rosemary, and salt and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth and wine, scraping up any browned bits.

Nestle browned chicken into potatoes, add any accumulated juices, and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until chicken registers 160 degrees, 12 to 18 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through cooking; transfer chicken to serving platter and tent loosely with aluminum foil.

Increase heat to medium and continue to simmer potatoes and sauce, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and sauce is slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to platter with chicken. Off heat, stir peas, butter, and lemon juice into sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over chicken and potatoes.

Clarkson Family Recipe Book

I’ve been wanting to digitize the recipes handed down from my Grammie for years. Lately me, my dad, and my brother have struggled to find a way to share recipes—we hate having to slog through the minefields of ad-ladden recipe blogs and sponsored websites where you can only visit once before you have to pay. I decided that the perfect solution to this headache—and the best way to preserve these family recipes—was through a website. Welcome to this place where the recipes have been tested and found true, where nothing is perfect but always yummy, where good food helps make a place a home.
