Chicken Vesuvio
When it’s about a weeknight dinner, I love ONE POT DISHES! One pot prep is always so simple and easy. And you’ll have complete and delicious meal for your family with less dirty dishes to clean after.
One pot chicken recipes are always my first choice for weeknight dinners. We have chicken for dinner several times a week. I’ve already share a few of my favorite chicken recipes: Chicken Alfredo Bake, Easy Crockpot Teriyaki Chicken, Chicken Parmesan Casserole, Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Casserole and Healthy Slow Cooker Chicken Breast Recipe.
What is Chicken Vesuvio:
But, let’s get back to this Chicken Vesuvio Recipe. Chicken Vesuvio is a dish made with skin-on bone-in chicken things. Chicken things are first roasted in a skillet, then baked in the oven. As a side with chicken you have potato chunks, peas and delicious garlic, herb and white wine sauce. It’s complete, flavorful dish made in one skillet.
White wine-garlic sauce with olive oil, butter, oregano and thyme is simply delicious. I like to mop it with crusted bread. If you and your family like that, too, then I suggest you to double the recipe for the sauce.
Finally, you can drizzle some freshly squeezed lemon juice on top and sprinkle with fresh parsley, But it’s very delicious and flavorful even without that.
With Chicken Vesuvio served for dinner, you family will enjoy as if you went to a luxury restaurant for fancy meal.

I must say, this gave me the giggles with the chicken “things” and white whine. But after I stopped laughing and figured out what it actually was, it looks really good and pretty easy. So I’ll be trying it in a few days. I’d say it deserves five stars.
This is on a routine menu at our home. I have never made it with bone-in thighs , always with chicken breasts or pork cutlets, but plan to make it next using your recipe. The ingredients are the same. It has always turned out perfectly and everyone loves it. Can’t wait. I love chicken thighs. Don’t know why I never thought to try them in this recipe.
[…] Chicken Vesuvio. Looks tasty – spring peas and potatoes. […]
Has anyone done this all on the stovetop? I don’t have a frying pan that can go in the oven. Thanks!
I’m curious also Maryanne, or can you just put it in a casserole dish?
The best recipe!! I use this every time we have company. It’s the perfect dish and awesome in the cast iron skillet.
Thanks Theresa 🙂
After I sauteed the potatoes in fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs, I pours the whole reduction over the chicken “things” I had laid out in a 13X9 baking dish and baked at 375 for 30 mins. Awesome!!
