Roman Chicken
This simple dish has an earthy, almost salty flavor. The potatoes make this an almost-one pot dinner. And it's fast to cook, too. It's ready less than 40 minutes after you preheat the pan!

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 2 pounds bone-in chicken thigh skinless (patted dry. Skin on or off is fine)
