Pugliese Chicken and Potatoes

My daughter in Venice

Another recipe found on cookingwithnonna.com. My BF made this one for me, and I tried to replicate it this weekend. My version was not as good as his, but my oldest said the chicken was cooked perfectly. I used boneless, skinless chicken breast instead of the bone-in chicken, so I put the potato mixture in first and cooked the chicken for a little less time. The herbs, olives, tomatoes, and wine make for delicious flavor. I will keep trying this one until I get it perfect.

Igredients:

1 1/2 pounds skinless, bone-in chicken thighs and drumsticks

3 Idaho potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 cup Gaeta olives or mixed olives, pitted

4 cloves garlic

1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced

4 sprigs of fresh thyme

2 sprigs of fresh rosemary

2 TBS dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup dry white wine

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Combine all ingredients except the wine in a bowl and mix. Pour into a 9×13 baking dish, then pour the wine over the mixture.

Bake for 60-75 minutes, until the meat pulls away from the bone.
