Chicken Vesuvio With Mushrooms And Peas Recipes

CHICKEN VESUVIO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, toss the potato wedges with 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the potatoes out in an even layer. (It's OK if some overlap). Bake, tossing gently once halfway through cooking, until the edges begin to brown, and the potatoes can be pierced with a fork but are still quite firm, about 30 minutes. (They'll finish cooking with the chicken.)
• While potatoes roast, prepare the chicken: Season the chicken with salt, pepper and the remaining 1 teaspoon oregano. In a large 12-inch skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high until it shimmers. Working in batches if necessary, cook the chicken, skin-side down, until it is golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, add the butter and garlic to the skillet and cook until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant and just beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and wine to the skillet, bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Add the peas. Pour the mixture evenly over the potatoes, then gently stir to combine. Place chicken on top of the cooked potato mixture, skin-side up. Drizzle any reserved chicken juices on top.
• Bake until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn on the oven's broiler function, and broil until the chicken skin is golden brown and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately, with plenty of the pan juices spooned over the chicken and potatoes, and crusty bread on the side.

CHICKEN VESUVIO SANDWICH

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet. Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed skillet. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour and shake off any excess. Fry the chicken in the oil until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes a side. Set aside on the prepared baking sheet. Keep warm in the oven. Slice the chicken in half before assembling the sandwiches.
• For the chicken jus: Add the oil into the same skillet from the chicken and saute the Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, garlic and shallots until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with the white wine and bring to a simmer until the alcohol smell is diminished, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and lemon juice and bring to a simmer again, about 10 minutes until the flavor intensifies. Keep warm for sandwich build.
• For the peas and mushrooms: Heat half the oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet and saute the mushrooms without overcrowding or creating layers. You may have to do this in batches. Give the mushrooms one stir and let caramelize. Once one side is golden brown, season with salt and pepper, stir once and let cook until all sides are soft but golden. Remove to a plate. To the same skillet, add the remaining oil and the peas. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until warm but still very bright. Mix with the mushrooms and set aside.
• For the sandwich build: On a nice fresh piece of split but hinged French roll, place a squirt of good mayo, 2 slices provolone, 2 Roasted Potato Wedges, 1 chicken breast, some mushroom and peas and top with hot giardiniera. Take the entire sandwich and either dunk in hot chicken jus or ladle on. Hold with one or two hands and bite hard.
