Ingredients
  

  • 6 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 4-5 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
  • 2 shallots or 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Equipment

  • Oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven
  • Tongs
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt the butter and olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  3. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown, then set aside.
  4. Toss the potato wedges in the same skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper, and sear for 5-6 minutes.
  5. Sauté the sliced shallots in the skillet until soft, about 3-4 minutes, then add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  6. Stir in Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, followed by the flour, cooking for one minute.
  7. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, then let the sauce simmer briefly.
  8. Return the chicken and potatoes to the skillet, then bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
  9. After 30 minutes, sprinkle the frozen peas over the top and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  10. Drizzle the lemon juice over the dish and scatter chopped parsley before serving hot.
