Chicken Vesuvio is an American-Italian specialty and has been a staple in Chicago restaurants since the 1930’s. It’s a rich, one-skillet chicken and potato dish that features white wine, fresh lemon juice, and lots of garlic. Our version calls for artichokes instead of green peas which roast beautifully and emerge with crisp exteriors and buttery insides. To quickly thaw the frozen artichokes, place them in colander and run under cold water while you prep the remaining ingredients. You could use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of the chicken breasts. Serve with a simple mixed greens salad to complete the meal.
Ingredients
Fresh lemon juice
¼ cup(s), (from 1-2 medium Lemons)
White wine
¼ cup(s), dry
Garlic
6 clove(s), minced
Olive oil
1 Tbsp
Rosemary
2 Tbsp, chopped, fresh
Uncooked skinless boneless chicken breast
24 oz, 4 (6-ounce) breasts
Uncooked potato
4 large, baking potatoes, each cut lengthwise into 8 spears
Canned artichoke hearts, drained
10 oz, frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
Table salt
½ tsp
Black pepper
¼ tsp, coarsely ground
Instructions
1
Combine the lemon juice, wine, garlic, oil, and rosemary in a zip-close plastic bag; add the chicken, potatoes, and artichoke hearts. Squeeze out the air and seal the bag; turn to coat the chicken. Marinate, turning bag occasionally, at room temperature, 30 minutes.
2
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Transfer the chicken, potatoes, and artichoke hearts to a baking dish large enough to hold everything in a single layer. Season with the salt and pepper and spray with olive-oil nonstick spray. Roast until the potatoes are browned and the chicken is cooked through, 20–30 minutes.
